6. What do you like least about living in St Enoder Parish?

There were many reasons given by residents for not liking the parish of St Enoder including traffic issues – speeding and parking; lack of amenities and shops; and litter and dog mess. The full list of comments is detailed below:

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Nothing. 20 Speeding traffic. 13 Parking on pavements/roads. 11 Lack of amenities/facilities. 10 Traffic. 8 Litter and mess. 7 Dog poo on pavements! 6

14

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Lack of shops. 5 Parking. 5 Larger supermarket nearer would be nice. 4 Development. 3 Lack of park / play area space. 3 No chemist! 3 Heavy good vehicles transitting through the village. 2 No bank. 2 No dog bins. 2 Noise from the A30. 2 Not many areas to take dog for a walk. 2 Too many houses being built. 2 Too many lorries using the village as a short cut. 2 1) Rubbish from McDonalds dumped everywhere. 2) State of some of the houses on the 1 main road through Fraddon (very run down). 3) No shop in Fraddon for things like milk and bread (we used to use Kingsley Village). 4) Concern regarding increase in traffic. A few derelict looking sites which spoil the ambience of the parish. 1 A little too spread out and divided by A30. 1 a) Parking on roads. Too many cars per house. b) Some houses bring work vans home. c) 1 The building site at the end of Fairview Park has been left as an eyesore. Kingsley should have been made to adhere to ORIGINAL application. a. Traffic; b. The smell from the pigs/biodigester site; c. Effort to close the post office in 1 Fraddon and move it to the edge of the three communities it services; d. That it’s very spread out; e. The train service is poor; f. The development at Kingsley village. A30 and access to the village, as we are horse riders and have no alternative than to cross 1 the roundabout VERY UNSAFE. A30, lack of public transport, destruction of farming/environment, noise from A30, 1 cutting back of public transport (less buses). All of the new buildings springing up. 1 All the building that is going on and little consideration given by the Council and 1 Planning Committee for the residents that have already got their homes here. They don't seem to think or care where they build, as long as it does not affect their life and their homes. Alternative food shopping (Co-ops prices are criminal). Cars parked in road (St Francis 1 Road/Fraddon) in particular. McDonalds litter everywhere. Amount of solar panels and wind turbines going in. 1 As the area has grown in population, could possibly do with more nearby services eg 1 healthcare, dentistry etc. Throughout the villages there are too many vehicles parked on the highway which cause dangerous driving circumstances. At present the amount of traffic up and down our road. Usually do not dislike anything. 1 Bad planning for some new housing causing more congestion and danger. 1 Bioplant noise, dust construction. 1

15

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Boy racers every weekend (evenings) no police presence at right times. 7.5 ton vehicles 1 ignoring signs and driving through Fraddon from Kingsley roundabout. Late, or not turning up Western Greyhound buses and never an explanation as to why when approached by telephone. Boy racers on the A30 and around the roundabout by McDonalds and St Margarets. 1 Building work being carried out at present means that the road I live on is busier and 1 used by large noisy vehicles. The village may benefit from a small supermarket. Bus garage and associated traffic movements with high levels of diesel pollution 1 (Summercourt). Far too many HGVs travel through the villages - big problem - they should be banned. Bus service. Beer prices compared to Newquay where I lived previously (I know its not 1 your fault). Kingsley village changes, did like the food store (again not parish's fault). Bus services. 1 Busy road from A30 services through Fraddon. Parking on road means always having to 1 stop and start to get through. Lack of availability for access areas to run well behaved dogs of a leash. Can be noisy outside Victory Hall with local youngsters on mopeds when Hall is closed 1 at night. Can't afford to live closer to Truro. 1 Cars being parked on the roadside eg St Francis Road, Fraddon and Parka Road; unable 1 to get doctor’s appointment, over populated villages; allowing houses to be built but not in keeping with surrounding properties. The traffic on the roadside has become a safety issue not for slowing traffic down but once on the wrong side of the road you have nowhere to pull in for a very long distance. Allowing up - country benefit families into the village supplying houses when our locals can’t get on the housing ladder. Cars parked everywhere, all the new housing estates filling up the green areas. Chip carts 1 filling up the roads leading into the station so that neighbours can't park. The state of the allotments. Cars parked on streets, cars parked on pavement blocking/restricted use. 1 Cars/motorbikes speeding on main roads/by school. Anti-social behaviour at Chapel 1 Road bus stop/The Drang. Chapel Town seems to be forgotten about a lot of the time. 1 Constant development, making green areas built up. 1 Could do with more competitive shops to encourage more shoppers to use the local 1 business. Currently, the FLI construction. 1 Cut off - public transport is awful. You need to drive to get around. 1 Difficulty getting planning in certain areas. 1 Distance to Truro; distance to major supermarkets, banks and facilities. 1 Doctors surgery too small, no chemist or supermarket. 'Youths' hanging around in the 1 evenings on scooters etc. Dog mess, especially on the Goss Moor Trail. 1 Dog owners not cleaning up their mess. Cars parked half on pavements and on yellow 1 lines. Dog owners not on leads, dog mess and horse mess. 1

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Dog poo (from being a responsible owner). Little post fair 2014! McDonalds waste 1 littered on narrow lane. Litter on amenity areas including broken bottles, etc. Due to the increase of houses I believe that we should have big doctors surgery and 1 schools. Also Cornwall needs a bigger hospital. Two many cars park on the road in the village when we put in for planning we had to be able to pull the car of the road and turn in the driveway. Planning needs to be more consistant!! Due to the number of people coming to live here it's hard to get a doctor's appointment, 1 and more traffic going through the village. Egress/access through Fraddon/St Francis Road/St Columb Road can at times be quite 1 bad due to number of cars parking in road. Laybys top of Queens becoming used as car sales plots. More thought to housing developments/providing more parking and play areas. Exposed/windy. 1 Family!! Too many new houses being built and area not being developed to help locals. 1 Far too many applications for wind turbines!! 1 Far too many cats left to roam about! 1 Far too much housing development. Lack of infrastructure to support development ie 1 school, doctors, shops, butcher, chemist, bank. Speeding cars/buses through village. Fast traffic through St Columb Road. Mess at top of Drang (glass McDonalds etc). Top 1 of Drang Road (McDonalds rubbish) and grass growing out over pavements and mess. From entrance to allotments down past railway bridge. Feel a bit isolated - not many shops and no banks. 1 Flytipping (Stamps Hill), closed off walking area. 1 For the size of the parish we should have bigger doctors surgeries, banks, chemist etc. 1 For us at Suncrest the adding on of more classrooms at the school. The cars are already 1 too much for our narrow roads. The disrespect of some parents who park wherever they feel inclined. Also the building of residential homes which means more cars. Where does this leave us? What about the infrastructure of the village? The roads at Suncrest are not wide enough for more traffic, and residents here have the additional worry of a ambulance or fire engine being needed in an emergency. There are a lot of older people on this estate. Gradual development and urbanisation over last 10 years or so. 1 Growing pressure on local shops due to increased housing being made available. 1 Especially parking areas now inadequate to meet demand. Growing size of parish. Too many houses for amenities here. Parking issues. 1 Having to access school through residential housing estate. Also parking when collecting 1 children blocking access to private dwellings. Having to drive through Fraddon. 1 High speed traffic - not enough 30mph signs. 1 Higher Fraddon is now becoming a building site with too much development. No 1 consultation, no respect for planning envelopes or building lines, no consideration of available services or facilities. Quite frankly the planning committee cannot be trusted and are not fit for purpose! Hooliganism. 1

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses I feel there could be more choice of supermarket out of Newquay; it is not the easiest 1 place to access in the weight of summer. I haven't found a reason not to like it yet! 1 I think we both agree that St Francis Road is a problem with traffic. Some drivers are 1 polite and patient, and others would drive you off the road. They are like road hogs. A few yellow lines would help. Inadequate bus service. 1 Incinerator, too much building works, too much wind turbines, too many solar panels - 1 all of which are spoiling the area. Increasing major developments by large commercial businesses. Traffic increase and 1 constant noise from bypass. Local superbikes and 'boy racers' (but I suppose this will be evident elsewhere nowadays!). Increasing numbers of houses and cars. 1 Ineffective result of the by-pass! Constant heavy and speeding traffic through the village 1 - possibly due to sat-nav too. Insufficient services: buses - not keeping to timetable; doctors. 1 It is very drab - just look at the photos on the cover of this questionnaire. 1 It rains a lot. 1 It used to be a very rural area to live, but the last 5-10 years too many houses and 1 factories have gone up, taking away lovely green fields. It used to be a nice calm area, now it is a concrete jungle. Too much buildings going up, and a lot of them are not affordable. It's getting too full; the roads aren't built to withstand all the traffic that goes through the 1 village. Not enough shops. No chemist. We need green grocers, a lot more facilities. No more wind turbines it's like living LA LA land. Lack of a centre (village) it's more a passing through kind of place. 1 Lack of affordable housing for young families. 1 Lack of food shops other than small convenience stores. Wind turbines. 1 Lack of mains drainage/sewerage. 1 Lack of parking e.g. lots of people parked on busy roads. 1 Lack of parking space and people using the local roads as a race track. Also a few dog 1 owners are still not picking up their dog poo. Most do, its just some irresponsible ones. Local drugs dealers and users. Lack of pavement Lower St Austell Street, also no street light and speeding traffic 1 making it unsafe for walking up to the village shop and post office. No community spirit it the village anymore. Summercourt Fair our biggest asset needs our help, why can't there be some kind of festival go ing on at the same time to make it an even bigger event. The road fair is getting worse every year so get everyone together to try and work something out for the future. Lack of police presence. 1 Lack of policing and inconsiderate parking. Especially on the bend approaching St 1 Columb Road Co-op. Western Greyhound buses provide unreliable service having been left stranded on two occasions I no longer use them. Lack of public transport. 1

18

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Lack of services eg chemist. Regarding population - not enough amenities eg shops, 1 classrooms to support it. Lack of shops - but we manage! 1 Lack of small business (variety). 1 Lack of some facilities (within walking distance) in particular a pharmacy and 1 supermarket of decent size. The many changes already happening which will impact on how rural it is. Lacks a central cohesion (village centre shops etc). 1 Litter. Dog mess. Speeding and noisy cars and bikes. Parking on pavements including 1 outside Queens Garage. Lack of rubbish bins on St Francis Road for rubbish and dog mess. Local amenities are poor for the amount of population. Have to drive to go on walks etc. 1 Local transport isn't great. Road signs, markings, not upkept, especially 'SLOW' sign in 1 Trevarren. Lorries. 1 McDonalds and the litter that gets dropped outside our house continuously. 1 More and more renewable installations, making what was a broadly rural area into an 1 industrial one. More houses being built, less car parking spaces for them, so when you come out your 1 drive you cannot see what's coming either way. Not enough school space or doctors! More housing, spoiling the area. 1 Narrow road through Fraddon (past Blue Anchor). 1 New ocean housing estate, huge influx of people of low social demographic. Over 1 subscription of school and other local services, speeding cars on Chapel Road near children and animals. Litter - even adults littering on school run with kids. No "big shops" eg cheaper options for products. 1 No close supermarket. Lack of large family houses - 4 bedrooms plus. 1 No local GP surgery, Probus is too far out; lack of decent general store with reliable 1 opening hours; lack of mains gas and sewer; parking on Beacon Road; some scruffy houses, could be a pretty village (Summercourt) with a lick of paint here and there; lack of take away food locally; only place I've ever lived that does not have a free local paper therefore you can’t attend what you know nothing about! No mains sewage. Increase of road/traffic noise especially since trees on A30 were cut 1 down. No mains sewer. Traffic in summer. 1 No one seems to be responsible for keeping hedges trimmed. There are several areas 1 where you cannot use the pavement because of overgrown hedges. No rubbish bins leave black bags out which I feel is unhygienic. We pay council tax to 1 help fund such things so why do we not get it here? No village centre. Sprawling houses with no central community space with park, services 1 etc do not promote community spirit. Not a pretty looking area (Fraddon, Indian Queens, St Columb Road). Bus service 1 unreliable. Litter from McDonalds. Not enough buses (Sunday no bus after 8pm). 1

19

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Not much employment have to travel for work. Traffic through village as there are a lot 1 of cars parked on the road. Not the prettiest of villages. 1 Nothing much to do in the evenings. 1 Nothing yet as we have moved in 1 week ago. We lived in Ladock for 3 weeks, Tregony 1 for nearly 2 months. The only thing might be the design of the houses. Now built up since we came. Too much. No thought for us at all. Too much planning 1 passed for building. When will it stop? No more green belt building. Leave our countryside alone. Now Kingsley Village has closed nearest food store is St Columb Road, Co-op. 1 NOW lorries, arctics, dust/dirt, noise, OVER development, abuse to property. 1 Number of new houses being crammed in between older houses with too few parking 1 places. Outsiders trying to tell locals what to do and joining councils etc to stop development 1 and progress, when they have offered and put little into the local economy. Over development, too many new houses being built, busy and speeding traffic. 1 Overcrowding with all houses being built and on road parking; no decent shopping 1 stores. Parked cars in roadways i.e. Fraddon, St Francis Road, St Columb Road. With the 1 increasing traffic these areas need to be free of parked cars. Parking on all roads - gridlock almost. 1 People are not friendly to new residents. 1 People late at night on the B3279 roundabout. Drifting. The roundabout where you go 1 into Queens and come out of near Carrs Garage - poor vision and speed not enough time to get going before someone is on you. McDonalds rubbish in the countryside. People neglecting their properties/gardens and dilapidated roads. 1 People parking right outside our house and blocking my drive because of chip shop and 1 chinese. People that can’t be bothered. 1 People’s untidy gardens, creeping out onto pavements! 1 Poor bus connections, lack of facilities, too much traffic, poor air quality. 1 Poor quality bus service. 1 Poor services. No good competitive supermarket. 1 Poor traffic calming measures throughout. No parking restrictions are ever policed 1 (despite what tell us). Inadequate speed limit signs, no enforcement. Fraddon, Indian Queens and St Columb Road main roads are an accident waiting to happen!! Used as rat runs!! With inconsiderate parking throughout!! Poor transport to Fraddon. No fibre optic broadband. 1 Probably lack of a quality food shop. 1 Proliferation of wind turbines. The fear of too much new housing. We seem to be in the 1 11.4% opposed to affordable housing. Agree with Parish Plan calling for "breathing space" from large-scale housing development. Proposed windfarm at Pine ---. 1

20

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Prospect of excess expansion, distance from larger conurbations, difficulty of access to 1 amenities beyond the basic. Prospect of increased goods vehicle traffic using Higher Fraddon for access to and from 1 the soon to be completed biogas plant. Proximity to incinerator, lack of structured planning - Cornwall Council view parish as 1 dumping ground that other parishes don’t want ie Feock, etc. Rate of development - especially housing and loss of green spaces/fields. 1 Road infrastructure due to too much development. 1 Road noise. 1 Roads and traffic, lack of speed limits outside our property when we have dogs, new 1 planning for solar panels, wind turbines. Roads. Increasing turbines. 1 Rubbish - school children drop it at bus stops. Lack of shelter and seating at bus stops in 1 Fraddon and Indian Queens. Rubbish and dog mess on the pavements and paths. Motorbikes driving the footbridge to 1 Pedna Carne. Self-appointed Parish Councillors, especially up country settlers trying to tell the Corni sh 1 how to live. Shame that food hall at Kingsley is no longer there. 1 Silly parking. 1 Smell from biofuel plant at Higher Fraddon. Parking issues in Suncrest Estate at peak 1 school times. Youths congregating at top of The Drang by entrance to minpins at night. Dog fouling. Litter. Condition of pavements and roads. Smell from pig farm. Possible illegal caravan site at side of my property. If the council 1 refuse permission for site, there is a threat of letting gypsies use site. Smell from The Pig Farm. 1 Soaring number of wind turbines and solar panels. Our parish and surrounding areas are 1 being exploited. South West Water allows Japanese Knotweed to grow unrestricted, in spite of at least ten 1 years of complaints. Speed of the traffic outside the house as it is VERY, VERY dangerous along this road. 1 Speed of traffic down Chapel Road. 1 Speed of traffic going up Chapel Road inadequate street lighting on Barnfield Terrace. 1 Teenagers at top of Drang late at night. Speeding cars, not enough footpaths and bridleways, difficult to get to cashpoint without 1 a car. Speeding traffic - particularly on Sundays along New Road, and the wind mills and solar 1 farms. Speeding traffic along old A30. 1 Speeding traffic through my village (Summercourt). 1 St Francis Road is a dangerous road, heavy traffic and used as a rat-run. Speeding traffic, 1 lack of decent shopping amenities. State of our potholed road through Trewinnion Farm. 1 State of roads/lanes. 1

21

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Summercourt Fair. 1 Teenagers (some!) 1 That a supermarket is at least 5 miles away. 1 That it does not have a heart, where shops, cafes, etc are grouped together to bring 1 members of the community together. The amount of new housing developments, the lack of choice for shopping ie no Lidl, 1 Aldi or Iceland. Water mains keeps failing, sewer systems can't cope, roads clogged with parked cars. The amount of traffic in Higher Fraddon. Lack of some basic facilities - or facilities such 1 as local libraries having a reduction in hours/open days. The amount of unnecessary building of new houses which are being taken by far too 1 many people from out of our area. I do not believe that Cornwall need half the houses that are being built as they are not for locals. The area can be quite scruffy ie the wasteland opposite AJ's on Parka Road. 1 The Bio Gas plant - especially traffic. Very huge lorries now use our road which was a 1 peaceful place! The bus service is abysmal. The unreliability is extraordinarily bad. The timetables that 1 are available at some bus stops are a farce. Buses regularly run late if not at all. Doctors and hospital appointments are a major concern for many people. I think this problem needs seriously addressing. The buses!! I don't drive so need to catch buses to get to other places. They are rubbish, 1 turn up late or don't even turn up at all!! The busy road between Fraddon and Post Office and Kingsley Village especially the 1 large speeding tractors. The countryside, the beaches, easy access to main A30. 1 The disturbance of 'boy racers' congregating near McDonalds who use the roundabout to 1 show boat! The fact that it might grow too big. 1 The foul odour from "Flying Fish Seafoods". 1 The housing goes to people who are not locals. I have never lived anywhere else since I 1 was 2 years old so well over 23 years. I've lived here and I can't get a home for my family but northerners can! The inability to drive around the roads easily. St Francis Road, Chapel Road and road 1 from Post Office to Blue Anchor has become one massive car park! The lack of community spirit of the non-locals who move to live here. Particularly the 1 non-Cornish. The lack of parking, leaving congestion on the streets. The idiots that reverse out of the 1 chip shop without looking. I walk my dog, and witness this nearly daily. The loss of the local produce at Kingsley Village in favour of a Next store, which we feel 1 unnecessary and may cause unwanted traffic delays. The multitude of solar farms, although the other options are dire. 1 The noise and disruption caused by children used skate board ramp late in the evening. 1 There should be a time limit eg no skate boarding/scooters after 8/9pm. The noise and smell of rotting fish from the Flying Fish Co. 1

22

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses The over-development and disregard f or amenities to cope. The amount of parking on the 1 roads. The parish growing too fast. 1 The parish is growing very quickly/too quickly. I feel local schools etc can’t keep up 1 with the growth. The park needs a re-vamp for younger children. Boy racers going up and down old A30 1 (outside my house) they'll kill somebody one day. Lack of parking for people’s cars. Roads always full of parked cars through Queens, St Columb Road and Fraddon. The poor public transport links. 1 The road has become very noisy with a lot of heavy vehicles going up and down, the 1 road is always being dug up. The smell, no mains sewers or gas! 1 The speed of traffic in both directions on St Francis Road including bus drivers. 1 The speed of traffic in my road. I have now lost 3 cats and am concerned it could be a 1 small child sooner or later. The speed of vehicles including heavy transport and public transport through the village. 1 The speed off the A309 near houses and driveways is a danger to people and one day will result in a death. The speed vehicles approach roundabout by Port and Starboard café and travel through 1 village. The state of litter left at parks by youths. Too much dog mess on the Goss Moor Trail. 1 The stench of fish from the Indian Queen’s Industrial Estate next to people's homes. 1 The traffic and lack of shopping/parking. 1 The traffic taking shortcuts, the rubbish from McDonalds into our road. The speed of the 1 traffic coming up through the village into Parka Road. The traffic that use the village as a short cut. 1 The view from my window at back of house I used to like the peace and quiet, and fresh 1 air until someone passed the plans for a big plant opposite my home, now all I have is vehicles all day. Lots of DUST. Polluting the air!! That no-one seems in the least bit concerned about the above problems and the residents of a ruined Higher Fraddon. The worry of an illegal caravan site yards from our home recently built. We have lived 1 here happily for 28 years. There are no really good restaurants since Viners closed. 1 There are not enough regular, bus services into Truro during the day and evenings. The 1 bus route (last bus leaves Truro at 11pm) could do with later ones, especially on a Friday and Saturday night. There is one-dislike. Which is the number of houses being built and cars on road parked. 1 Throughout the day and night the level of noise created by traffic is unbearable on the 1 A3058 running through Summercourt. There is excessive speeding HGVs and buses all day long, tractors/trailers you name it, it goes up and down our street. Horrendous and dangerous road for elderly people/children and adults to cross. Traffic calming is urgently needed for this road. We loathe all these wind turbines that are springing up everywhere. Blot on the landscape is an understatement. People come to Cornwall to enjoy the scenery but everywhere you look there are turbines. Too far from my employment! 1

23

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses Too many cars parked on main roads in village. New houses do not have enough parking 1 spaces, most families have at least two cars. Too many new houses and industrial units. 1 Too many people here we don’t know and our houses being let to foreigners and our own 1 young people want homes. Too many wind and solar farms. 1 Too much building being squeezed in and no car parking spaces. 1 Too much heavy and fast traffic on our lane, leaving Highgate Hill, to go Higher 1 Fraddon. Too much housing going up and not enough school places/doctors surgery places, etc. 1 Traffic and speed of it, rubbish and unkempt hedges etc. 1 Traffic around 5pm at Chinese and chip shop. Lorries in 7.5 tonne weight limit. Parking 1 on St Francis Road and through Fraddon. Traffic coming through instead of using the by-pass. 1 Traffic congestion. Speed of traffic in restricted areas. Heavy vehicles cutting through 1 village. Filthy footways caused by dog fouling. Traffic is not calmed along St Columb Road, St Francis Road and through Fraddon. 1 Traffic noise and speeding traffic through the village off the by-pass, also local young 1 people speeding. Many dog walkers crossing the road now. The by-pass urgently needs new 'quiet' tarmac to reduce road noise! Traffic noise from the A30. Listening to boy racers at night around the Penhale and up 1 and down the road to Pedna Carne. Traffic on main road through. Roadsides not maintained. Litter. 1 Traffic on St Francis Road around Co-op with vehicles parking on corners making it 1 dangerous to get on to St Francis Road. Traffic speed through Fraddon and St Columb Road - dangerous for high volume of 1 pedestrians (children on school run, people accessing the pub, crossing the road etc). Traffic speeding through St Columb Road. 1 Traffic through Fraddon/St Columb Road, parking on roads through Fraddon/St Columb 1 Road. Traffic through village. Heavy lorries coming down Barton Lane even though not 1 allowed, sign is faded and unsightly. Traffic! Cars parked on the road. Houses built with little thought to parking. 1 Traffic, parking on roads, congestion at local school. 1 Traffic/parked cars through main road of Fraddon. 1 Transport links to rest of UK. 1 Travelling 8 miles to the nearest supermarket. Lack of public transport. Lack of training 1 or leisure amenities e.g. evening or day classes for art, computers. Turbines all over the place. Over development in general. 1 Unreliability of buses. Some of the pathways are uneven and need more maintenance. 1 Untidy gardens in some people’s houses - lowers the tone. 1 Village getting too big now. 1 We feel far away from St Enoder which is geographical rather than a social downside. 1

24

No of 6. What do you like least about living in the Parish? responses We have a population of between 5 and 6,000 people resident either living, and 5 to 1 6,000 working in the parish on a daily basis but we have NO facilities whatsoever. To reach a butcher, baker, chemist, green grocer, one has to travel at least 12 miles to get to a shop. People working here cannot do that in their lunch hour. So they have to shop at ghastly unhealthy supermarkets whether they like it or not. So are unable to buy good wholesome uncontaminated locally produced food. 12,000 people need facilities. Wind turbines too big, too noisy, too many. Road surface conditions. The demise of the 1 parish magazine. Wind turbines. Poor roads. Poor road maintenance. 1 Windmills, A30. 1 Worried could be over developed in the future because of easy access to A30 1 (surrounding area).

SECTION 2: HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT

One survey was not completed for this section.

1. Do you believe that the residents of St Enoder Parish should decide the extent and location of any new housing that is constructed in our area in the future?

86% (645 respondents) of respondents believe that they should decide on any new housing constructed in the parish.

1. Residents decide on extent and location of new housing No of respondents Yes 645 No 52 This is of no concern to me 19 Don’t know 2 Yes but with help & advice from our council and planners. 1 TOTAL 719

One respondent who supported additional housing made the following comment: “But we are aware that there is always a need for new housing.”

One respondent who does not support new housing made the following comment: “Because most residents would not be bothered to vote.”

2. Do you agree that St Enoder Parish should have “a breathing space from large-scale housing developments” as requested in the 2008 Parish Plan?

87% (649 respondents) of respondents would like a break from large-scale housing in the parish.

2. Breathing space from large scale housing developments No of respondents Agree 649 Do not agree 57 This is of no concern to me 18 Not sure 2 TOTAL 726

3. Do you agree that the above target of 300 new properties for the period 2010-2030, as set out in the Cornwall Local Plan, is broadly appropriate?

52% (390 respondent) of respondents do agree with the proposed 300 new properities set out in the Cornwall Local Plan for 2010-2030, however 39% (291 respondent) disagreed.

3. 300 new properties appropriate for the period 2010-2030 No of responses Agree 390 Do not agree 291 This is of no concern to me 27 Not sure 2 TOTAL 710

26

One respondent who agreed with the target of 300 new properties made the following additonal comment: “We presume that the 99 properties built between 2010 and 2014 along with the 174 units with planning permission would leave just 27 more dwellings to reach the 300 maximum. We feel this is reasonable”.

One respondent made the following general comment: “Very difficult to answer. Because we don’t know where in the parish 300 properties would be built and for whom? And for what?”

4. If you answered “do not agree” to question 3, please explain your viewpoint and reasons.

Many people are concerned at the proposed number of houses, and feel that the the current infrastructure will not cope. The full list of comments are detailed below:

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses Too many houses for the services and amenities in the area ie schools, doctors. 11 The infrastructure is already overcrowded. 10 Too many. 4 Already overcrowded. 3 300 properties appears a very low amount over a 20 year period. 2 Already enough new housing. 2 Structure of the parish. Doctors surgery will not cope with such large increase, school 2 cannot cope now with numbers of children. Village would grow too large. 2 Infrastructure does not support excess buildings. No improvement in 1) local roads. 2) 1 Water supplies. 3) Electricity network. 4) Sewage system about to fail with volume. The developers build and run away leaving the area to suffer. Make them more responsible. 1. As we need more class rooms or a bigger school built. 2. Need more supermarket 1 choice and restaurants. 100 houses every 10 years, these areas are already congested. There are houses for sale 1 in the village that have been on the market for a long time. 300 - too many. There is never enough AFFORDABLE for YOUNG LOCAL PEOPLE!! 1 Affordable must relate to LOCAL WAGES! 99 + 174 = 273 therefore we are already close to target with 16 years of planned 1 development time left. Individual and very small scale development not estates will easily take care of the 27 spaces on plan with infilling and the like. A lot of old brown sites should be used first. Also old neglected homes which have been 1 empty a long time. Should be made use of. A small village becomes a large housing estate and the roads and shops etc cannot cope. 1 Agree if built on brown field sites not farmland or above building lines. 1 All should be affordable housing for locals. Loss of 'village' feel. 1 Already enough housing in parish. We have had a huge amount built over the past few 1 years and we believe the infrastructure is not there (water, sewage etc). Already too many new houses - not enough "affordable" for local people. 1

27

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses Although housing needs to be restricted if an application were made that benefitted the 1 parish and provided year round sustainable jobs and infrastructure then it must be considered on its merits. As there is major building of houses and supermarket/retail being either planned or built 1 in the Newquay area, there is no need for more in the St Enoder area. Because it will make the area crowded, congestal, and less pleasant to live in. No 1 infrastructure to cope with numbers, putting pressure on all aspects. The nature of the parish will change from rural to urban. Building 300 properties in this area will be too much. The infrastructure won't cope and 1 we will lose the village atmosphere. Concerned about where all the extra children would attend the school, the school is 1 currently high in numbers! Congestion and traffic. 1 Cornwall is known for its ruralness and scenic views and walks as well as its beaches, 1 this is what attracts tourism to the county which is Cornwall's biggest money earner. Keep building, tourism goes down jobs go down Cornwall gets even poorer than it is already. Current school and playschools do not have capacity to accommodate any more children. 1 Traffic through village needs to be slowed as more kids around. Doctors surgery, schools, roads, Co-op. PARKING cannot cope with influx of so many 1 people. Excessive overdevelopment for this area, also whilst it still has no mains drainage. 1 Facilities have not kept pace with housing. If schools, GP surgeries and roads updated in 1 line with housing increase, then no problem with proposals for 300 new properties. Far too many, the area simply doesn't have the facilities to cope, nor do we want those 1 facilities built. Far too much Greenfield Lane is being used for house building - only brownfield should 1 be permitted. Derelict/old buildings should be demolished and replaced with council housing in the main this gives the young a roof, and bungalows should be built for older tenants so they can move from homes too large for them. Having lived here for more than 15 years, we have suffered from constant building and 1 developments and it is worse than ever now! I agree that there is a need for more affordable housing but there is also a need to have 1 the infrastructure to support this such as larger doctors, post office, schools, nursery, supermarket/convenience stores, improved sewage works to cope with extra capacity. I do not agree with present housing policies because they are not targeting real need and 1 are all about making profits for housing developers. I do not believe we need that many for locals and that should be the priority. 1 I fear the agreed target will not be adhered to - and more will be the final number. Most 1 households need transport to reach work etc and local public transport is poorly provided. I feel there is already enough development in the area. I am not sure where we could fit 1 300 properties without using greenfield sites which I DISAGREE with. I have noticed the planning application for land diagonally opposite the Blue Anchor. 1 Unless sufficient parking is provided this will cause problems.

28

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses I think simply Cornwall is being over-developed and no appropriate infrastructure has 1 been put in place. I think the 300 properties, needs to be explained more, how many are going in each area 1 should be stated. As planning has been given for a further 29 more houses behind Mowhay, which I believe is just a few too many, maybe 20 max, not 29 as planned taking up 2 fields. I think the ratio of housing to affordable housing is too low, considering only 100 1 properties were built in 4 years with nearly half being affordable. 300 is fine, but need more affordable properties. I want to live in a village, not a town. The infrastructure would not cope. Doctors 1 surgery, school, extra traffic. I would have to query where they would actually go and whether the infrastructure St 1 Enoder Parish has would be able to cope with it. I'm not certain about the numbers built, but the proportion of houses which are affordable 1 appears unbalanced. I believe this is already a big problem for people in our age range nationwide. I'm worried about the proportion of truly Cornish local people accessing these houses. 1 People from larger cities could relocate/or be relocated to the area and have no interest whatsoever in the community. In my opinion we will lose the community spirit, and attract people from England to live 1 in the houses which should be built for local people. Indian Queens School would not be able to cope in its present state, 15 new classes were 1 to be added then the extra properties would not be a problem. Infrastructure of the villages cannot cope. Already problems with parking, doctors, 1 school too small. Sewages and drains can't cope now. Doing away with village life, if you want a town move to a town, protect our village life while we have the chance. It is too many houses without improving facilities for residents and addressing 1 traffic/parking issues. It seems 174 planning permissions are granted and more being considered. Surely this is 1 2/3's of the houses up to 2030. It seems quite a lot, especially if it continues to grow at that rate. Would be sad to lose 1 our countryside to housing estates!! It should be a growing village, with so many people needing homes, this would be a 1 good thing. It there is not enough housing in the country that indicates there are too many people. 1 Approach this problem from the other way and influence a better control/education on population. It was a lovely, quiet village not much countryside left. 1 It worries me the amount of new development in rise of people numbers - where will 1 everyone park and go to school? It would alter the whole environment for the worse. 1 It would diminish the reasons I enjoy living here. If the infrastructure and environment 1 plans were well thought through, it could be possible. However, this would probably cost more money. It would ruin a village. We also don’t have enough schools also GPs. Build next door to 1 the Government.

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses It's too many, using too much green space that could be better used. 1 Keep it a quiet community and it will make more traffic. 1 Keep to the target. 1 Lack of employment opportuniti es, risk of overspill from outside Cornwall, no guarantee 1 of housing for local people. Lack of facilities to support housing and very few local people occupy new houses. 1 Lack of infrastructure: schools, medical centre, roads (traffic) are not suitable. 1 Local school too small, more shopping facilities better public transport, health centre! 1 Lots of smaller houses/flats not big dwellings. 1 More houses being built will mean more traffic and school being overcrowded. 1 More housing would cause more traffic, and the shops and schools would not be able to 1 accommodate high populations. It'll also take away the surrounding countryside. More the merrier, more shops, more customers. 1 Neither the roads, services or facilities (schools, etc) can cope now. The infrastructure is 1 totally inadequate, without any more development. No more. Only build on brown belt, not countryside. We at postcode TR9 6NH have had 1 enough filth, dirt, noise. Not enough services for that number of houses. Schools not big enough. Not enough 1 employment opportunities. Not enough public transport. Not enough work, historical area of natural beauty. Small companies closing down. 1 Not sure that it has pleased everyone, not sure I totally disagree with the plan. But I do 1 feel if we are not going to lose the village feel in the area. Only if it helps local people first then others. 1 Please note: the target was for 300 houses within a 20 year period. We are only 4 years 1 into that period, and your figures state 273 houses have already been approved. How many more can local infrastructure cope with?? Provided roads and other infrastructure are adapted to accommodate! 1 Recent developments are just lashed together with little thought of surroundings or 1 effects to existing residents - and not in keeping with surrounding properties. Should not be more than 300. Services will not be able to cope - GP, school. 1 So far there has been no consideration to: 1. Keeping cars off the road and providing 1 adequate parking 2. Providing permanent classroom spaces without losing play area in the present school. 3. Parka Road is getting as busy as the old A30 through the village was. 4. 300 new properties will produce another 600 plus cars, where will they park? Soon if let the building keep going we won’t have any village left, it will be just one big 1 housing estate and a few big supermarkets. Support to housing (facilities) not growing at same rate. 1 The % of affordable homes is not acceptable and should be greater. Even 'affordable' 1 homes are out of many people's range and rent to buy options should be increased. The beauty of the village is its community spirit and beautiful scenery. More houses 1 would take both of these aspects away and cause more problems for the road surfaces. The current infrastructure does not support so much new housing. When we came to live 1 in Cornwall it was because the area was so unpopulated.

30

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses The infrastructure cannot cope now, and certainly could not deal with more houses for 1 example, when it rains the water mains burst as they weren't upgraded to cope with the new houses. The infrastructure needs to be improved immensely! Instead of building new why not 1 make use of vacant houses already there. The ongoing building of new properties brings with it loss of rural land, congestion if 1 properties are tightly packed without gardens and footpaths and, of course, parking issues and traffic problems. Also increased street lighting and pressure on local amenities, schools and surgeries. The percentage of the houses built that were affordable is not high enough. 1 The roads are becoming 'rat runs', parking on roads has become an issue. If you must 1 build houses in the area maybe road infrastructure should be an important issue. The roads in community are not suitable for that amount of new properties. 1 The school is not large enough to cope nor the estate it is built on! Again this will also 1 boast road parking. The school will not have capacity to start with plus the roads will not be able to cope 1 with flow of extra traffic as it is already unable to cope. The structure of Indian Queens and Fraddon cannot take any more houses. People haven't 1 enough room as it is, too many cars parked on the roads. There appears to be little consideration as to the effects of those living near the 1 developments and the disruption it may cause. There are a lot of old houses for sale, if you keep building new, the people who want to 1 sell never will as the new houses go first. There doesn't seem to be the room for all these houses, plus the parking situation 1 (particularly where I live) is already very close to breaking point. There has been enough development. Maybe fewer properties should be built maybe 1 100-150. There is a very strong local need for additional housing - setting this limit will simply 1 drive prices further upwards. There is already too much traffic through the village of Fraddon. There are not enough 1 facilities to cope. There is enough housing in the area, more housing would increase the strain on the 1 current utilities (gas, water, broadband and electricity) also more vehicles on the local roads, who can afford to buy them?? There is far too much building going on. 1 There is no evidence of need for this number of extra houses. 1 There is no space in the area without ruining areas of natural beauty. The extra volume of 1 traffic and people will swallow the village and will turn into chaos. There is not enough housing to cover just the LOCALS! 1 There isn't enough facilities in the area to cope with all the extra people, example school, 1 doctors, hospitals, small roads, can't cope with extra traffic. There seems to be little or no improvements in the local infrastructure to support an 1 increase in the parish's population. There should be more affordable homes for locals. Stop having children too much 1 population not enough food.

31

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses There would be a cost for supporting infrastructure for a lot of new homes - water 1 drainage, sewage plus additional schools. This is a village not a housing estate. 1 This is too many. Services will not be able to cope. We already get a lot of burst water 1 pipes. Water and sewerage was installed when there was very few houses in the village. This would depend on what other facilities and infrastructure the Council also propose?? 1 The village cannot cope with the amount of houses/cars it has already let alone another 300! Too large percentage increase for facilities ie medical/school/employment/food retail. 1 Too many are already in the pipeline, with most of the 300 target already underway or 1 given permission. St Enoder seems to be having a disproportionate level of housing development compared to other parishes. Too many here already. Unless for Cornish people only. Too many outsiders want to 1 change everything to what they had before. Too many houses being built everywhere, no schools, doctors surgeries etc being built. 1 Too many houses being built in Cornwall. Drekly there won’t be a green field to be seen. 1 Too many houses cause interruption for many schools and also put more traffic in the 1 area. Too many new homes, leads to crowding, complete change in local lifestyle. Too much 1 traffic. Loss of community care and space. Too much pressure on local schools, doctors, etc. Too many outsiders living here now. 1 Too many people from outside of Cornwall are coming here to live. 1 Too many properties being squeezed into too small an area. 1 Too much countryside being taken away with large scale developments. 1 Too much presence on the school for existing shops. 1 Turning villages into towns is defeating the object of having rural villages. Building on 1 greenfield sites? What is replacing the crops / animals grown there? Very low target for affordable homes. Young people are unable to stay in the area. 1 Villages are rapidly being transformed into a town without town facilities. 1 We are aware of the importance of local housing but it seems to be ongoing and using 1 more and more land. We are in danger of building on more and more farm land. 1 We cannot stand still. That would equate to 4 houses per year per parish. We must build 1 for young families and not just "keep it in aspic" for retirees. We do not feel this vast amount of housing would be good on the environment - traffic, 1 loss of farming and countryside and no longer a small friendly parish. There would need to also be more schools, GP practices, roads built and amenities. We do not have big enough doctor’s surgery and school etc. If the population expands so 1 should the infrastructure, also parking on roads is a problem and sewage disposal. We do not require large scale housing development. 1 We feel that the village is getting congested with traffic, stationary - causing problems. 1 Also the school, doctor’s surgery, won't cope. We have a triangle joining three villages, the design is not right or the many more buildings.

32

No of 4. Reasons for not agreeing with 300 new properties responses We have concerns that existing services are already stretched, schools, hospitals, doctors, 1 etc. if more new houses are built then these will also have to be considered before applications are granted. We will not agree until facilities match the expansion. No chemist, no bakery, only Co- 1 op total monopoly. We would slowly lose village status. The school would have to grow considerably and 1 leisure facilities for children would have to be expanded. Where are they going to go? What will happen about school places, doctors etc, etc. 1 Where will these people work? Strain on doctors and schools, village life eroded. 1 With more housing as it is at present and with extra children. The school building is way 1 behind (new classrooms). The infrastructure is failing to keep up. The need for more parking to be made available to ease on road parking. Without improved infrastructure this would be foolhardy I doubt the roads or school 1 could cope. Worried that amount of housing being built. 1 Would not like to see any more and that they are for Cornish local people. 1

5. Do you agree, as set out in the Parish Plan, that the provision of new affordable housing, specifically tailored and guaranteed to meet the long-term housing needs of local people, should be the priority for any new housing?

82% (612 respondents) would like to see affordable housing provided in the Parish.

5. Provision of new affordable housing No of responses Agree 612 Do not agree 75 This is of no concern to me 32 TOTAL 719

Respondents who agreed made the following comments: “Again we need to keep a mix of families in the area so affordable is one answer, but merged with good quality long term homes”. “At a cost locals can afford (by locals. I mean born locally).” “Should be longer than three years.”

33

6. Do you agree that the green spaces between the main built-up parts of St Enoder Parish should be protected from development?

88% (659 respondents) would like to see green spaces protected between the main built-up parts of the Parish.

6. Protect Green Spaces No of responses Agree 659 Do not agree 47 This is of no concern to me 20 Depends what the green spaces are used/not used for 1 TOTAL 727

One respondent who did not agree made the following comment: “Infill works better but needs support from Council smaller groups of houses”.

One respondent made the following general comment: “As they are not accessible to the public anyway.”

7. Do you have any concerns about the infrastructure (schools, public services, roads, sewers, etc) of the local area and its ability to cope with more new housing?

Many residents are concerned about the Parish’s infrastructure - capacity of the doctors and school; concerns on flooding, roads and sewerage are all high on the list; as well as issues of parking around the Parish. The full list of comments is detailed below:

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses Yes - infrastructure needs adapting to accommodate. 21 Yes of course! Main concern. 15 I worry the school will not cope due to new housing developments. 9 No/none. 7 GP practice struggling to cope already. 6 Schools overcrowded. 5 Doctor surgery may not cope with extra people long term. 2 Parking! 2 The roads are already bad enough with pot holes, more cars would make this even worse. 2 1) Both local schools are at capacity. Further development will see this stretched beyond 1 the remits and be of detriment to the building and outside space of schools. If additional pupils are introduced. 2) Reduced buses and mobile library facilities have been evident already. 3) GP services. It is difficult already to receive timely appointments. Further strain from more residents will be of concern unless GP services adopt 7 days a week NHS opening. 4) Limited parking on roads already with additional housing comes additional cars - worrying. 5) There are no obvious signs of road/roadside debris clearing. This appears to be performed by 'Fraddon Enhancement Society'. This would require Council/Local Government to support the Parish instead.

34

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses 1) I have concerns about the ability of the power (electric, gas) to cope with extra 1 demands. 2) I have concerns about provision of school places. 3) I have concerns about medical provision, the car park of St Columb Road already inadequate. 4) Improvements to the road and sewage to cope with developments should be paid for by the company doing this development. 1) Local school oversubscribed. 2) Poor road access through Fraddon (parking issues). 3) 1 Improve access between 'The Mowie' and 'Haltoon Avenue' Indian Queens/St Columb Road. 1) Roads. Busy roads already with cars parked in road. Poor road service (tarmac). 2) 1 Water pipes are regularly bursting on MyLords Road/main road and SWW workmen have said this is due to more houses being plumbed into existing infrastructure. 3) Local amenities. A new purpose built junior school is required. Children need space. 1 At present the school is full to capacity. The parking at the school and on St Francis 1 Road is a nightmare. A small village becomes a large housing estate and the roads and shops etc cannot cope. 1 Access to school already an issue as parking is so limited. 1 All infrastructure is strained to the limit - the past promises to update water and sewage 1 are still awaited and severely outdated. The school is expanding to cope with current needs but all other services are non-existing or eroding. No dentist or public offices, reducing access to library and information services. All infrastructure was for a much smaller area. Sewers can only take so much (ex South 1 West Water engineer/chemist) smells on St Columb Road bad at 4pm approx. Roads are overloaded, no parking, people still flying through to avoid by-pass. All new housing should have parking provision on the property. On-road parking is a 1 problem and causes delays. All the services will need addressing, with the increase of population. It will be 1 determined by funding of present/future government; which at present, sees fit to restrict even present availability of funds for our present essential needs. Although we have lived here a relatively short period of time there are limits with all 1 infrastructure and it is imperative that the limits are not exceeded for any reasons. Any more personnel would be a big burden on doctors, school, etc. Buildings cover 1 ground that would normally absorb rainfall, more pressure on sewers, etc. Bus services already reduced could have an impact on a growing community. 1 Complete lack of facilities in our village, doctor appointments can be difficult to arrange 1 due to demand. Public services ie sewers, drainage, water supply. Overcrowding of school, no shops ie chemist, bank, launderette, decent supermarket, post office about to move to Kingsley. Concerned about schools as they are becoming oversubscribed and can be difficult to get 1 into your nearest school. Roads already very busy & congested with cars parked on them. Concerns about all infrastructure and cars parked blocking roads. 1 Concerns after recent flooding in the winter of 2013. 1 Concerns over infrastructure to support more new housing. School currently expanding 1 to meet current needs not too sure how would cope with more demand for service. Would not want it to lose its outstanding rating as a result. Also good local doctors surgery, would hate to see it suffer due to more strain on services.

35

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses Cornwall Council has failed to ensure that schools, public services and roads meet the 1 needs of the local community. Cornwall is expanding at an alarming rate eg Newquay, yet we have no more doctors, 1 dentists, schools and great pressure on our local hospital which keeps cutting beds and staff. Definitely - schools including preschools. The number of doctors and dentists per head 1 plus capacity at Treliske Hospital. Yes, we need more beer. Doctor surgeries are unable to cope with requests for appointmen ts due to the social need 1 of many residents (not just health issues). Doctor Surgery in St Columb Major struggle as it is with the number coming through 1 their door. The primary school is extending BUT the road layout is a nightmare. Roads are so busy and traffic is fast. The road at top of Barton Lane cannot cope with the amount of cars parked on the road. Drains cannot cope with heavy rain when fields flood water enters properties. Doctors 1 are over stretched now, as are hospitals and buses - what buses? Expert advice must be sought and followed to supply the infrastructure needed to support 1 the new housing. Extra schools may be necessary. Access for heavy traffic at Bio Gas plant onto the A30 1 keeping it away from Fraddon. Having seen other new housing sites disrupt natural drainage, my concern is flooding. 1 Building new homes should be limited to what existing services can cope with. I agree that more houses are needed for LOCAL people but I have major concerns that 1 there is NOT enough schools etc when they are built. I am concerned about public transport links. I am also concerned about limited local 1 amenities - play areas, shops and parking on the roads will not cope with too much new housing. I do think that schools will need to be extended to cope with extra demand and more play 1 areas will be needed. I feel there is going to be a need for a decent sized doctors surgery with adequate parking 1 and facilities for district nurses. I have a great deal of worry about our infrastructure. Water and sewer are both 1 problematic and need a good overhaul which we will not get. New properties are being built with no infrastructure to go with them. I have been affected by poor drainage already so more housing would make matters 1 worse without better sewers, etc. I have concerns that the road leading to Higher Fraddon is not suitable for the increased 1 traffic of the bio-plant I feel that someone will be hurt or killed on this road in the future. I think if the new housing is in the range of the Local Plan then there should not be any 1 issues. I think that Summercourt should have mains sewerage before anymore housing is 1 allocated. I think that the area lacks childcare provisions for children under 3, although there is a 1 pre-school there isn't a nursery for working families with babies and toddlers in the St Columb Road, Indian Queens and Fraddon area. I think that the local infrastructure will have to be improved/expanded to reflect the 1 percentage of new houses. Larger shops to accommodate rise in population.

36

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses I would be concerned about schools capacity and worried local children would be forced 1 into schools outside of the village. I think a convenience store around Kingsley Village area would be beneficial. Co-op in Indian Queens is too far to walk for elderly. I would be concerned if infrastructure hadn't been considered already by the planners! If 1 the infrastructure isn't in place then these new developments should not proceed. I would expect the infrastructure to be considered in any planning application, and any 1 necessary updates to be actioned. If more homes are built we need to increase the size of schools and doctors, and water 1 supply, and to install gas to all areas. If the Council is agreeing to extra development yes it would put more pressure on the 1 infrastructure it stands to reason as no repairs are being done. Improved/new access to school (Indian Queens CP). 1 In some areas, sewers and roads cannot cope with any more housing. 1 Indian Queens Primary School due to expand - meaning more vehicles will use The 1 Drang and Suncrest Estate. I feel there should be alternative access as there are several points on these roads where vehicles cannot pass at the same time causing congestion. Indian Queens School already has to build more classrooms to accommodate existing 1 children! Lack of affordable childcare/nursery for working parents. Drains can't cope as it is! Flooding. Indian Queens School needs to be bigger. 1 Indian Queens School would not be able to cope in its present state, 15 new classes were 1 to be added then the extra properties would not be a problem. Insufficient, the only thought it the greed of the developer. 1 Is Indian Queens School big enough to cope with the growing community? 1 It depends upon the details of any plan. 1 It won't cope. Public transport is poor as it is. Roads bad. Where will new schools (which 1 will be needed) go! It would ruin a village. We also don’t have enough schools also GPs. Build next door to 1 the Government. Disaster. It's killing village life, soon there will be no villages left, very sad. 1 Lack of infrastructure: schools, medical centre, roads (traffic) are not suitable. Reduction 1 of volume of traffic and speed is of grave concern to us all. Lack of places at school, lack of buses and it's hard to see a doctor now without more 1 people living in the area. Lack of schools or not big enough. 1 Lack of schools, roads already worn and over used at speed, drainage and maintenance of 1 drains not sufficient at present. Lack of sewage capacity. Limited school places and overloaded GP practices. Cornwall 1 must concentrate less on tourism if the roads are to cope with new development. Locally adequate - school development perhaps countywide - total shambles. A30/Truro 1 Road infrastructure. Wholley inadequate county infrastructure. Trust equate to local infrastructure. Mains sewerage needs to be established as there can't be any more cesspits in the 1 "Ribbon" area of Summercourt. Sewerage on Sycamore Gardens is far too costly (£50 pcm)

37

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses More housing = more people = more children with schools that are already full. Housing 1 should be built with provision of TWO parking spaces per house. Schools are oversubscribed, doctors under pressure. Traffic problems. More housing means these amenities will not cope, meaning disturbances as building 1 work takes place. More housing will cause increased flooding which is recurring problem. More young 1 families in the area will need more schools and public services, when the Council is implementing cuts in these services. More housing without significant infrastructure in relation to school places, doctors 1 surgery and greater volume of vehicles on local roads creating more noise and air pollution. More housing would cause more traffic, and the shops and schools would not be able to 1 accommodate high populations. It'll also take away the surrounding countryside. More schools will be needed. Sewers will not be able to cope. Parking a problem. 1 More should be built to cope with growing demands but still keeping some green spaces 1 protected. It's a fine balance. Needs to be planned out properly, consulting where necessary. 1 Neither the roads, services or facilities (schools, etc) can cope now. The infrastructure is 1 totally inadequate, without any more development. Parish planning committee totally ignore indicated criteria, and appear to be in favour or development of any green field site irrespective of proximity to existing brownfield site availability. New developments to bring increased traffic often along narrow lanes causing damage - 1 roads do not seem to be maintained to reflect increased use. No concern providing there is no vast increase in housing or industrial estates/units in the 1 area. Affordable housing??? Affordable to who?? Affordable housing is usually only affordable to the first buyer - after that, the price will increase. No main sewers. 1 No mains sewerage in Summercourt. Drivers still drive too fast through the village. 1 No the school is expanding - more business in the area. 1 Not been any increase in doctors, the size of Summercourt School, and where is the 1 sewerage system for Summercourt got too!! We still live part with septic tanks!! Not big enough school or doctors. 1 Not enough parking. The village is getting very congested. 1 Not enough school places also doctors is not enough, also sewers in places is not up to 1 standard. Not enough school places. Sewers cannot cope now. 1 Not enough spaces in doctors appointments - struggle to get seen. 1 Not overly however with more families possibly coming into the village. There will be a 1 need for more classrooms at the local school and a better/bigger doctors surgery in the village. Of course. Traffic is already a huge problem in particular. 1 Our local school has expanded due to increase in population, but the traffic around this 1 school is awful, people take cars when they only live 5 mins away or less. There should be bigger push on walking to school, will be an accident soon.

38

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses Our schools are fit to bursting and no real foresight is being given to the impact extra 1 children will have on our schools. Equally the lack of shops and amenities mean you have to travel to larger towns to get what you need. Parking areas are already inadequate causing far too much "on road" parking. The 1 dangers associated with this problem are all too obvious, especially to children and cyclists. Parking is an issue along Chapel Road. 1 Point about questions 5&6 - the word local should be more strict - born here, lived here 1 for 20 years, although some affordable housing is required, there is also a need for a family home too. Indian Queens school should never have been built where it is. Access and parking is a nightmare, transport services seem to work well, if housing provided enough parking space then obstructing in roads would be abolished; any development should contribute to sewer upgrades. Primary school is not big enough. 1 Really think the Indian Queens/Fraddon village area needs to be planned out, the 'ribbon 1 development' mentioned is ineffective. Need extra village area and filling in to make a proper village. Road between Summercourt and Brighton Cross a death trap. 1 Road repairs and maintenance. 1 Roads are busy alrea dy. School not big enough. Drains overflowed last winter as it is. No 1 extra employment. Public transport minimal. Roads are certainly getting busier, with lots of on street parking, although this does help 1 traffic calming. There must also be an impact on general infrastructure. Roads can be busy and hard to pass as cars parked on roadside, they should be made 1 wider where new housing is built or more parking should be made available with the properties. Higher population would mean a need for more investment in local schools and doctors. Roads will become more congested. Local sewers and drainage could be compromised 1 with more and more houses. Roads, etc. 1 Roads, sewers and water supply is already inconsistent - who will put money into re- 1 building already poor infrastructure. Roads, speed, sewers. 1 Run of all houses and down rivers flooding. The village is growing too big it no longer 1 seems to be a village anymore. School - already over-crowded and parking around school insufficient. Lots of cars 1 already parked on roads. School - it's position and parking, doctors size and parking already difficult at times. 1 School (Indian Queens) no parking or not enough and school parked. Dinner hall not big 1 enough to take more pupils. School is full to bursting. Vehicular chaos ensues every day. 1 School not large enough to cope with extra children on a large scale. Public services are 1 poor and not consistent. School now having four new classrooms built, more houses will mean more classrooms 1 being built. How much more can school be extended with such poor access. Sewers have not been upgraded to cope. 39

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses School over populated already so can’t cope with anymore pupils. The roads are already 1 busy and cars parked through village holding up traffic. Large amounts of tractors and lorries and speeding vehicles at all hours of days. School overloaded. Roads - lack of parking. 1 School places are full already and lack of jobs generally in Cornwall. 1 School should be built at the same time as th e houses as they were in 1950's, togther with 1 public services etc not left as an afterthought a decade later. Green spaces are vital to nature with a vastly growing population, where will cattle graze and where will our food be grown? Schooling/mains water and sewage are all concerns. 1 Schools will need to extend to accommodate more children, issues like water mains will 1 need looking at so there’s no loss of pressure. Schools won’t cope. Public transport is not reliable enough. Roads are too busy already. 1 Schools, doctors surgeries, roads, build more housing more facilities required. 1 Schools? No children ourselves yet, so not looked into schools. 1 Sewers - takes ++ maintenance and liable to break; shops - poor local shops and poor 1 opening hours. Sewers and gas not been available in certain areas. 1 Sewers and rainwater gullys are not coping now, and regularly burst in Fraddon. More 1 housing will make the situation worse. Parking, or lack of space to park is also an issue. Sewers ever since Summercourt Gardens went in we have had trouble with our waste in 1 Beaconside. Some concerns, shops and schools. 1 Some of the developments already taking place in other areas are effectively doubling 1 the size of existing villages so new schools will be required. Where is the employment to support the extra population? Some of the roads are already busy and it doesn't help with all the parked cars on main 1 roads. Such details of statistic should be part of the planning. 1 Summercourt has no sewerage - and this should be addressed asap. 1 Summercourt is still not on mains sewage. Both primary schools are full. Without. 1 Reinvestment how can the area cope? Summercourt needs mains drainage so more homes could be built for local people, 1 thereby keeping local facilities going, and families together. Summercourt properties have private drainage and any larger scale developments would 1 require suitable systems that do no not impact the area (noise/smell/unsightly). Properites need private parking facilities so that roads are left clear. The access road in and out of Indian Queens Primary School - difficult during start and 1 end of the day. The amount of heavy commercial traffic using our lane which was not built to stand such 1 abuse and a projected increase in the near future. The bus services in Cornwall have never been able to cope. 1 The Council should put money into looking after the older houses and hooking them up 1 to the gas mains not giving all new housing all the benefits. Traffic is a problem on Fraddon Hill. 40

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses The infrastructure cannot cope such as doctors schools which are at capacity, and in 1 Summercourt sewage is especially a concern. The infrastructure is already struggling to cope. The roads are not suitable for more 1 traffic. The infrastructure won’t cope with increased cars and lorry on the roads. Also if we over 1 populate the area won't crime increase? The plans for two new classrooms at Indian Queens School is totally inadequate. No 1 provision has been made to increase the room size for minpins. No parking provision has been included. The public transport service is next to useless. Buses are forever failing to turn up so 1 cannot be relied upon. The roads are already constantly busy, quite often queues forming. Also, there are 1 occasions when it is difficult to get an appointment at the surgery. Therefore, I believe that the roads and some services are not adequate for increase in housing. The school access needs to be addressed and the drainage after the floods last winter. 1 The school at Indian Queens is far too small now, let alone have more houses. They 1 should have kept the old school, where there is plenty of room to expand and parking. The money they spend to build a new school they could have done up the old school for half that price. The school cannot take any more pupils. The doctor surgery is overloaded, too small car 1 parking is a big concern. More houses more cars. The school is already expanding within a restricted site. The roads are narrow with 1 passage hampered by numbers of parked vehicles. Through traffic passes at excessive speeds. The school is already full - new housing will mean more children - where will they go, 1 also doctors will need to expand to meet demand. The school is already having to build more classrooms, public services eg doctor is 1 struggling to cope, the roads are mainly used as a public car park. There have been many water pipe problems on St Francis Road in the past two years. The school is already struggling to cope with the amount of children and the doctors 1 surgery is also under pressure. The school is not large enough to cope nor the estate it is built on! Again this will also 1 boast road parking. The school is so busy don't think can cope with more houses and children. 1 The school is under pressure but is having extensions. However Cornwall Council should 1 consider if further local development are adequately catered for. The school is vastly overcrowded, with added classrooms taking away play area whic h is 1 vital. The doctors surgery won't cope. We have no P.O. (nearest Fraddon). Sewers wont cope nor the roads. The school is waiting planning for more classrooms as it is not big enough now. We are 1 often sent to St Columb Major as you cannot get an appointment at St Columb Road. I am sure the infrastructure will not cope with more houses. The schools will be affected as well as the doctors surgery. More people will mean more 1 services are needed as it will affect it all, roads, sewers etc.

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses The sewer pipe can't be expected to take much more. Also the water pipes are forever 1 bursting. Parking at the School is very limited and if more and more people move into the area, we'll need another by-pass to get from one end of village to next. The surrounding villages are getting larger, but the schools are not expanding to 1 accommodate the growth. We should also have traffic calming through village to stop speeding. The upkeep of roads and bridges in our area of Summercourt is close to NON- 1 EXISTENT. We are in a road with no mains water, sewerage or gas. Yet two houses were built next door and allowed to stand and an application has been made recently for ten! The village is very busy sometimes it takes 10 minutes to get out of our road to end of 1 village. Constantly having to stop because of people parking on narrow road. Large lorries! Especially Barton Lane! I don't mean milk trucks of course. There are enough housing in the area more housing would increase the strain on the 1 current utilities (gas, water, broadband and electricity) also more vehicles on the local roads, who can afford to buy them?? There are no jobs, little sign of increased utility such as water, mains gas, sewage. There 1 are areas of high flood risk and little in the way of additional services such as GP surgeries, schools and shops. There are no sewers! - so yes certainly we have concerns. 1 There are not enough facilities or general infrastructure to support the people already 1 here. I agree new homes have to be built, but th at must go hand in hand with more public essential services ie schools, surgery. There is a limit to make existing infrastructure sustain all extra housing. Increase all 1 services before building!! There is not enough room at Indian Queens School now, and other things such as sewers 1 pipes etc are old and cannot take any more pressure. There would be significant costs for supporting infrastructure for a lot of new homes - 1 water drainage, sewage plus additional schools. This is a concern. We are not against new homes for local people, but not right in the 1 villages where roads are congested, and everything is overstretched - school not big enough now. This, I feel, is a major issue. This is a 'rural area' not an area to just build! Again think 1 about the roads. They are becoming a risk issue. Too large percentage increase for facilities ie medical/school/employment/food retail. 1 Too much presence on the school and existing shops. Also drainage and sewers in regard 1 to global warming. Too much traffic, particularly HGV disregarding the speed limit. 1 Traffic seems to be on the increase in Fraddon and Indian Queens. St Columb Road the 1 flow of traffic is impeded by on road parking and can be stressful. Traffic too much already, GP services too busy as we are. 1 Unclassified roads should not be considered as suitable access to development when 1 applying for planning consent. The current sewerage system is not fit for more development and is hard put to deal with the present needs. Very concerned at lack of cohesive planning re all above listed infrastructure issues. 1

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses Water mains on My Lords Road is always breaking - almost a tourist attraction. Buses 1 could do with a re-think not many shops for such a big area. Water pipes and sewers will not/do not stand up to what we already have. Too much 1 traffic coming through villages. Water pressure is already very low at peak times (5pm). Traffic pretty bad for school run. 1 Water supply in St Francis Road - main is in poor condition - regularly bursting. Sewage 1 works capacity. We already see a reduction in water pressure at peak times. Roads and sewers would not 1 cope with more new housing. Recent new developments have caused more surface water due to poor drainage which means pedestrians en d up walking in muddy "streams" where there is meant to be paths. Grass verges do not appear to be as well serviced as in previous years. We are not on mains gas on drainage so can't comment. Worried about overcrowding in 1 schools, would hate to have to send my kinds elsewhere. We could do with a better doctor's surgery with more efficient staff, also a chemist. 1 We have concerns about the entire infrastructure listed. For us at Suncrest the adding on 1 of more classrooms at the school. The cars are already too much for our narrow roads. The disrespect of some parents who park wherever they feel inclined. Also the building of residential homes which means more cars. Where does this leave us? What about the infrastructure of the village? The roads at Suncrest are not wide enough for more traffic, and residents here have the additional worry of a ambulance or fire engine being needed in an emergency. There are a lot of older people on this estate. We have concerns that existing services are alrea dy stretched, schools, hospitals, doctors, 1 etc. if more new houses are built then these will also have to be considered before applications are granted. We live in Summercourt. We would be concerned about the impact on the local primary 1 school which already appears to be at capacity. We need more housing as more families are growing. 1 We will need to expand the existing doctor’s surgery on Parka Road and the school, and 1 it would also be nice if we could have kept the visiting library. We would need bigger school, better doctor’s surgery, shops. 1 We would slowly lose village status. The school would have to grow considerably and 1 leisure facilities for children would have to be expanded. When planning is given to include affordable housing. Then we believe that the 1 affordable houses should be built first because Red Gate Farm on Moorland Road have built the normal houses but the affordable ones still have not been built. When walking we often smell gas, this added pressure would surely worsen this? I want 1 to be able to send my future children to Queens School, it’s the reason we moved here! I don't want this to not be a reality. With the housing already accomplished, the roads are becoming more and more difficult 1 with the amount of traffic at present passing through. Yes - any new planned development should include an assessment of the infrastructure, 1 and an impact assessment should be undertaken. Companies benefiting from the planned development (housing development and existing businesses eg McDonalds, Kingsley Village) should be responsible for improving the infrastructure to meet the needs of the new development, not the Parish or the Council.

43

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses Yes - how will the schools prioritise who gets to go? I don't want to go into town for 1 school when we live in a village with one. Yes - in particular parking issues as more new builds don't have parking or just enough 1 for 1 car (when in this modern age households in Cornwall often need 2-3 cars to travel to work) hence obstructions on road. Also strains to doctors surgeries, schools, etc. Yes - in particular the water mains - the main in the Mylords Road-Chapel Road-New 1 Road area of Fraddon is continually causing problems. Yes - public services unable to cope with current anti-social behaviour, let alone with 1 proposed development. Yes - school is main concern and traffic - appears to be fairly heavy through the village. 1 Yes - school provision is clearly inadequate at present in Indian Queens. 1 Yes - schools becoming overcrowded. Doctors - appointments not available due to too 1 many people registered with the practice. Traffic - increased vehicles - roads unable to cope. Yes - there is a lack of amenities for such a large parish. Leisure centre would be good! 1 There is a worry that the services ie. water, sewers, gas, electric etc cannot cope. Yes (must have adequate off road parking). 1 Yes, the area is already over crowded and the school full. 1 Yes, especially water/mains which constantly seem to be bursting in at St Columb 1 Road/St Francis Road area. Yes, I have grave concerns as Indian Queens School is bursting at the seams and 1 covering all the play areas with extra class rooms. It is disgusting for this to be allowed to happen. Yes in all infrastructure aspects. The School is currently in throws of being extended 1 which is great but what about the access to it? It is already dangerous with the amount of cars going up the Suncrest Estate. The roads throughout the villages are diabolical and I generally use the bypass to get around as its quicker than having to continually weave in and out of parked cars. Yes schools especially primary seems tight as well as parking which seems chaotic. 1 Yes the school (overcrowding). Condition of roads with more traffic. 1 Yes with all the new developments going up in the area including Newquay, there is 1 concern that the infrastructure can’t cope, it is already at max capacity. Yes you only get so much funding and its hard to get people into schools now as it is so how is that going to work? Also drainage blocked at least 6 times a year, I need say no more. Yes! School cannot cope now. Classes too large. A new school would have to be built on 1 the outskirts. Cars parked on roads are a hazard. Children can run out from behind these cars. Traffic is increasing in volume and speed! Yes, as I have already explained, there are too many cars around as it is, blocking views 1 from junctions etc. This needs to be properly thought through. Yes, as long as the infrastructure also grows and develops to allow for additional 1 population. Yes, drains cannot take heavy rain. 1 Yes, further housing is fine but we need to improve our school infrastructure. 1

44

No of 7. Concerns about Infrastructure responses Yes, I do not believe the local schools have the capacity to cope. As more new h omes are 1 being built there seems to be more on road parking which is causing delay. Yes, in particular GP and health facilities and needs public transport. 1 Yes, Indian Queens School is already big enough and built up in an area of housing so 1 see little room for making it bigger. Especially parking issues. Yes, Indian Queens School unable to cope with more traffic and pupils. 1 Yes, it was spoken about in 2008, what has happened? Nothing. I have concerns on the 1 pressures on the Drs surgery, new housing must have off road parking to alleviate traffic problems. Yes, lack of work and easy reach of shopping facilities (Kingsley Village too expensive 1 for everyday needs). Water pipes in road under constant repair. Yes, no housing should be built unless, prior thereto, sufficient schools, GP surgeries, 1 roads, shops and public transport links are put in place. Yes, our drain/sewers can barely cope with the houses/farms etc, continually blocking. 1 They are so old our lanes cannot cope with the amount of traffic to-ing and fro-ing. Roads need looking at well before housing gets approved. Yes, school not big enough, not enough shops, doctors surgery not big enough. Sewerage 1 system not up to scratch. Yes, schools would need to increase class sizes. The sewage works may need to be 1 upgraded. The two main convenience stores (Co-op and Indian Queens Garage) already struggle with parking. The doctors are small as is the Fraddon post office. No dentist. Yes, the more houses built the more children will come to live in the parish, so new 1 schools will have to be built and bigger. Yes, the roads need to be improved and public transport more frequent and serve more 1 areas. Yes, very concerned about schools and doctors as they can’t cope now so if there is 1 going to be more housing its going to be nightmare. Yes, we do not feel this vast amount of housing would be good on the environment - 1 traffic, loss of farming and countryside and no longer a small friendly parish. There would need to also be more schools, GP practices, roads built and amenities. Ruining countryside, loss of farming, impact on wildlife and less community unity and traffic would be horrendous and impact on environment. Yes, we have concerns. Roads are full. Schools are full. Doctors you have to wait now 1 for appointment, a lot longer. There is no recreation ground where people can walk and sit for older people, everyone walks aroudn the streets and walks the dogs. Yes. A new school for infants. They cannot cope. 1 Yes. Doctor’s surgery at St Columb Road is always busy and there is a lack of public 1 transport unless you want to go to Truro or Newquay. Yes. More houses means, means more people, means more impact on infrastructure. 1 Schools will need to be extended, maybe more roads - less green space. NHS already overloaded. Where will all these new people find work? Yes. Schools are already too small and upgrade of water services delayed again. 1 Yes. These services will need to be reviewed and upgraded to meet the needs. They 1 should be fit for purpose.

8. If more housing was to be built in Enoder Parish, which of the following approaches do you think would be appropriate?

82% (614 respondents) support the conversion of existing buildings for housing, 68% (509 respondents) do not wish to see more large housing estates in the Parish.

No of responses 8. Appropriate approaches for new housing Yes No Don’t Know Possibly Conversion of existing buildings 614 35 0 0 “Infill” plots within the main settlements 357 214 7 0 Small-scale clusters of housing units 370 202 4 3 Building on green field land 54 501 0 1 Building on previously-developed land 527 77 7 6 New large housing estates 36 509 3 3

One respondent who supported the conversion of existing buildings, “in-fill” plots, small-scale clusters of housing units, building on previously-developed land made the following comment: “With parking”.

The following comments were made in relation to “small-scale clusters of housing units”: “Very small i.e. 3-5” “What is small scale?”

One respondent made the following general comment: “On a small scale to help local people only.”

9. If you support more housing, where in the Parish do you think new houses could be built?

A variety of sites were listed where new housing could be built including an area in the old John Julian’s site at St Columb Road, Parka Road, Kelliers, brownfield sites, derelict clays areas. However some residents would not support more housing. Full list of comemnts details below:

No of 9. Support more housing responses St Columb Road, opposite doctors (old John Julian’s site). 10 Don't know. 9 No more housing. 9 Parka Road. 6 Brownfield sites. 3 Derelict clay areas. 2 Kelliers. 2 Not lived here long enough to have any say yet. 2 On the wasteland on Parka Road opposite AJ's. 2 1) Above Kingsley Court, next to A30. Good access. 2) Higher Fraddon, but access will 1 be difficult. 3) Land behind the Blue Anchor Pub. 4) Barton Lane. 1) In the area previously allocated for Kingsley on Fraddon Hill. 2) Any area which 1 would be 'infill' whilst not encroaching on green field land. 1) St Columb Road (opposite surgery already part build). 2) The green fields along Parka 1 Road (I have not seem them effectively used for agricultural purpose in 25 years), to infill between houses on surgery side and houses on Fraddon Hill. 46

No of 9. Support more housing responses Address the problem of vacant properties which need renovation. 1 Along A30 in Indian Queens from phone box to Gnome World. People can walk into the 1 village easily to get to all the amenities. Along the road to Higher Fraddon. 1 Any derelict plots within the villages should be used. 1 Any land which is not being used for a specific purpose ie industrial, ecclesiastical or 1 agricultural. Any run down areas or disused. 1 Anywhere except on greenfield. If there is no curb on building, the appearance of the 1 area will be lost forever. Anywhere in the parish that supports more housing. 1 Anywhere that is not a green field site. 1 Areas not being used. 1 Around areas already built or with easy access. Not areas where there is no development 1 already. As previously mentioned, any development housing or otherwise should be assessed on 1 its merits. If the development is sustainable (jobs etc) and access is appropriate then in- fill should be considered. Behind the old school in Indian Queens instead of the industrial units. 1 Between Fraddon and St Columb Road. 1 Between Fraddon and Summercourt. 1 Between Indian Queens and Fraddon (Parka Road). 1 Between St Columb Road and Indian Queens/Fraddon fill in the triangle (if travelling 1 from Queen and Railway Pub towards roundabout before Blue Anchor Pub it's the land on your left after doctors. Between Summercourt and Mitchell as large open fields with community links. 1 Build on previously-developed land, 'infill' plots within the main settlements, conversion 1 of existing buildings. Chapel Town, Mitchell, Toldish. 1 Complete the infilling of housing in the triangle of Indian Queens, Fraddon and St 1 Columb Road. Conversion of existing buildings and areas within developed areas only, lots keep our 1 green fields. Derelict or empty housing such as chapel next to Fraddon Post Office. 1 Derelict site opposite AJ's café which has been an eyesore for years. 1 Development of land where building has started (eg St Columb Road). Limited building 1 on green field would be better than cramming houses on top of each other. Disused railway yard at Indian Queens (edge of Goss Moor). Summercourt - cleared 1 former industrial and retail sites. Don’t know the area that well, but utilization of abandoned or unused old buildings is 1 essential. There is such a gross waste of not utilizing this type of space. Each site should be individually assessed. 1 Empty industrial spaces, brown sites. 1

47

No of 9. Support more housing responses Everyone will say, where they are is already over developed, so I believe it is down to 1 planning officers to use common sense. Existing development area. 1 Existing dilapidated houses. Between A30 and existing housing. 1 Existing farm buildings. Moorland Road between housing and Industrial Estate. Infill. 1 Commercial use building laying dormant. Extend villages a bit. 1 Extending existing building land. 1 Extension of existing estates. 1 Fill in triangle between Fraddon, Indian Queens and St Columb. 1 Fraddon Hill to St Columb Road. 1 Haven't really studied. 1 Higher Fraddon - where Harvanna Heights is already the fields there. Fields near St 1 Columb Road. Higher Fraddon. 1 Highgate Hill. 1 I agree if conversion means - converting a bungalow to chalet home/house. Infill plots 1 fine too but NO to estates. I agree that there should be more housing built to fill the need for homes - but it must be 1 AFFORDABLE only, and only in spaces already built upon or redundant. I cannot comment without knowing who owns the various plots of land. 1 I do not know the area sufficiently well to specify, but there must be many empty 1 buildings and vacant plots within villages which would be suitable. In Summercourt new houses are being erected on 'in-fill' plots. I don't support it because local people will not get the housing. 1 I know government want more houses built but I believe most of them can be built in the 1 towns etc. I think we have enough houses. We have lost our village community because of the three 1 villages almost now in one. If any future developments were needed it would be wise to use land between St Columb 1 Road and Fraddon which already has roads either side and backs onto existing development. If you have to build more houses put them in Imerys land. 1 Impact assessments should be undertaken. Depends on what proposed. Summercourt is 1 less developed than Indian Queens, Fraddon, St Columb Road. An equal spread of development would be fair. In the middle of the villages of Indian Queens, Fraddon and St Columb Road or towards 1 outskirts of Fraddon. Indian Queens nearby to the industrial and business estate as road infrastructure already 1 exists. Indian Queens on the land behind the old school. Kelliers land above the playing field 1 and south side of the A30 at Summercourt, in behind Kessells Garage. Also old area next to Dales which is an eyesore. Indian Queens. 1

48

No of 9. Support more housing responses Infill and bring back to use existing buildings. 1 Infill and brownfield. However suitable car parking spaces should be allowed etc eg 1 1 per bedroom. In the immediate Summercourt area. Infill areas within the villages. 1 Infill. 1 Infilling in the villages and old and defunct buildings and maybe any buildings that don't 1 seell on the open market. It is hard to say - a lot is "green field" maybe next tio Dales/back of the Chapel area. 1 Land at St Columb Road which has been derelict for about 30 years. Any land purchased 1 for raod schemes that was not needed Penhale - Mitchell. Land behind St Francis Road around the Recreation Ground area. 1 Land such as that opposite St Columb Road doctors, which is laid unused for several 1 years. In fill plots (such my own and other residents of hamlets) where gardens/brownfield land gives access to family extensions/extra buildings. Like EDEN in a disused pit. 1 Maybe leading down to the rec? 1 Moorland Road, Higher Fraddon and continue were the current Ocean Housing site now. 1 More housing for locals. 1 New housing should be mixed so that we do not have clone housing. 1 NO idea. There is never going to be an ideal place for new developments. 1 No more, enough is enough. 1 Non-farmland 1 Not on farmers land. Inside the areas already moderately built up eg Indian Queens. 1 Not on the green areas. I think that it would be a shame to build on the countryside. It 1 would be better suited to extend the built-up areas. Old brownfield sites - but I don't really support much more new houses. 1 On existing derelict plots or on sites and unused commercial land/buildings. 1 On land adjacent to the Mowie where planning permission was granted sometime ago. 1 The owner (a builder) has stopped building and yet refuses to sell the land to a developer. On land near Doctors Surgery in St Columb Road which is derelict and unsightly. 1 On land that is earmarked for housing. 1 On Penhale Moors. Plus also a school to be built there. 1 On the eastern side of Mitchell village. 1 On the land which is currently barre n being no use to anyone eg by the school/behind the 1 new houses. On the McDonalds site. Wipe out obesity and the housing problem in one go. 1 On the wasted lorry, like down by the doctors surgery opposite 'AJs'. Also further on 1 down from 'Gnome World'. On unused industrial - land and derelict sights. 1 Only lived here since February 2014 so don't know the area very well. 1 Only small spaces. 1 Opposite AJ's bakery - currently an eyesore. 1 Opposite Fairview Park and spread in other small plots. 1

49

No of 9. Support more housing responses Opposite the doctors on St Columb Road - eye sore for many years now. 1 Parka Road, where building was started and not finished. 1 Plot of waste land by bus stop in St Columb Road; land near Indian Queens business 1 park; land between Dales Renault and Clock Garages could lend itself to more industrial or housing units. Previously used redundant buidlings/business sites. 1 Recovering the Imerys (ECL) land that is no longer being used. 1 Ruthrose, Penacorn, etc. 1 Site opposite Fairview Park that has been left to wrack and ruin? 1 Small plots around Summercourt next to existing building ie opposite school behind 1 chapels, Parka Road eastside, St Columb Road (Simpsons mess). All brownfield sites. South side of the A30. 1 Spread over the next 15 years (300 homes!) from 2010! Should keep within the number 1 until infrastructure is in place. Spread throughout the parish as indicated in many of the approaches in Q8. 1 St Enoder is a small parish, and should remain that way. 1 Summercourt area. 1 The lack of mains sewerage in Summercourt makes it ideal for a small number of houses 1 only. The land between A30 and the rear of the Blue Anchor. 1 The old R & O's buildings, the field on the right of Fraddon Hill could take a small 1 cluster. Along Parky to meet up. Land at Summercourt near Dales. The plot which has been left to rot on Parka Road opposite the surgery. 1 The problem with new housing development is that there is no infrastructure to support 1 it. Water, sewage and the schools cannot cope now. There are many opportunities for in-fill, not only in the main settlements but also in the 1 small hamlets in the parish (currently outside of development envelope). This would be a low-impact approach. They need to do something with the land (dumping ground) opposite Fairview Park. 1 Stick houses there so it doesn’t look terrible. Throughout the parish in small clusters. 1 To be built on derelict land or knock down houses that are beyond repair - recycling 1 resources and land, not building on green areas. Toldish - recent developments there are very attractive and the area is large enough for 1 more housing. (Can something be done about the long term eyesore at St Columb Road - the abandoned building site?). Toldish and near to Kingsley. 1 Toldish, still plenty of untouched land adjacent to current development. 1 Top notch joinery areas of Summercourt. 1 Towards Summercourt from Fraddon. Better still put all planning to Devon Council. Let 1 them build up there. Trefullock Moor, Industrial Estate Area - Summercourt. Area of land between school and 1 pub. Trevine Meadows where I live if plans could go through to build more places. 1

50

No of 9. Support more housing responses Two large seemingly derelict buildings in Fraddon. The former knitting factory land at St 1 Columb Road (Parka Road). Usage of fields between Kingsley Village and Ladock - A30 is easily available. 1 Waste areas like the tips. 1 We already have too many houses, spoiling the parish I knew. No amenities. 1 We need to ensure that there isn't rampant development. However if we only allow infill 1 and brownfield housing density will be high, with a negative effect on infrastructure, particularly parking. We would like to see higher end of the market building developments ie The Tannery at 1 "Grampound". All we seem to have is Ocean Housing developments. We do understand that SOME shared ownership has to be included in the developments but not all. We would require more time for research. 1 Within walking distance of village amenities. 1 Yes, Highgate area. Allotments Newquay Road, Indian Queens Moorland Road. 1

10. Do you have any further comments about housing issues in St Enoder Parish?

Residents echoed comments made in previous questions in relation to not too much housing, parking and infrastructure. The full list of comments are detailed below:

No of 10. Further comments about housing issues responses No. 21 Too much. 2 1. Big housing developments built by builders should have to give something back to St 1 Enoder i.e. money. A limit on cheap affordable houses they become the slums of the future, again, as they 1 were in the late 40's and early 50's. Good quality housing to attract professional owners. A lot of local resistance to additional development is the result of nimbyism and "I'm 1 alright Jack, pull the ladder up", rather than based around a consideration of others needs. Affordable housing should be the highest priority. 1 All new housing development should include adequate of road parking including sites 1 such as shops, churches, public buildings, restaurants, etc. Allow for parking spaces on ALL houses. 1 Already overcrowded. This is a rural area and the local community housing will be out 1 priced by new builds. The strain on local services will be too vast. We live here because it is rural with beautiful countryside. Any new houses being built should have a drive-way that will allow 2 cars, we cannot 1 have any more cars parking in the streets. Before any housing developments are considered, I would suggest that water / sewage / 1 and other utilities are prepared first. The water system in the area is always breaking down now, major leaks are a monthly occurrence. Better traffic calming measures between Fraddon Post Office and McDonalds. Any new 1 housing should be in keeping with the existing identity of the villages.

51

No of 10. Further comments about housing issues responses Build bungalows for elderly tenants thereby releasing large properties that they would 1 vacate for families. Build the bungalow at least a short walk from facilities. Cornwall Council should give houses to young local families and local senior citizens 1 who need them first. Could we have less boxes and more design. 1 Council run housing. Rather than expensive property that local people cannot afford. 1 Don't spoil the parish. 1 Existing infrastructure cannot cope with any more development. 1 Existing residents should have their outlook (views of the countryside) protected. 1 Expansion of existing town MUST be limited somehow. 1 Facilities needed before more houses. 1 Fraddon and Indian Queens is becoming one continuous line of houses. 1 Get all the empty and rundown houses made fit to live in. 1 Government legislation should be tougher on developers and great authority backed by 1 law should be vested in Parish Councils. Green fields and farmland must be protected. In not too distant future the world will be 1 short of food. Cornwall can supply this if we don’t destroy with concrete. Visitors will not come from their concrete jungle to visit another one. This is happening now at Quintrell and beyond. Having been first time buyers in the parish 2.5 years ago. There is a distinct lack of 1 affordable or low cost houses for younger people. Houses need to be affordable to local people as the average wage does not meet the 1 demands of the prices of property in the area. Houses should be for full purchase only. Rented or so called 'council' properties 1 sometimes attract problem families. This is not needed in such a lovely area. Housing should be affordable and priority given to local people with children already 1 settled in the local school and pre-school. Make the housing for the next generation. Housing should be for local people and their children. Too many people looking for 1 cheap housing from up-country. Miserable, non-talking, rude and not required. I agree that more houses are needed, but will the infrastructure and jobs be available to 1 support the increased population? I am pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the majority of the recently built homes. 1 I believe new developments should not be made into big estates. For example the 1 'Harvenna Heights/Mowhay' area is big enough as it is. With the additional 29 houses going up it is too big and taking away too much greenland. I believe the new development ie Havenna Heights etc has lowered the area and I see a 1 lot of unemployed white trash families spitting and littering in the beautiful county. Such a shame. I think enough houses have been built. 1 I think for peoples wellbeing it is important to keep lovely views, green and communal 1 areas. I think in some cases planning permission has been granted for developments which are 1 grossly inappropriate for the location such as some garden sites where houses are squeezed in and the density of homes in some developments. Leads to lack of space.

52

No of 10. Further comments about housing issues responses I think it would be sad if the area got so built up that it just becomes part of Newquay. 1 I think more and more people will be forced to leave as housing is becoming more of a 1 pipe dream than a reality. Affordable housing should be the priority as it will keep the communities. I think there should be some houses built but balanced with keeping some countryside. 1 I think we need a lot more jobs in the area to make it worth building any more houses. 1 If housing is increased in Indian Queens, Fraddon, St Columb Road. Please seek ways to 1 improve the main road (old A30) and consider banning HGVs and tractors and other large vehicles. If housing is to be built it should be only on written agreement that the homes are for 1 local (as in Cornish born) people and or people local to this area who have lived here for a minimum of 15 years or were born in the parish. If more houses are built around houses already built it will not take countryside which is 1 used for farming. If you build new houses you will need more doctors surgeries and bigger schools. 1 If y ou do build more houses it would be essential to provide decent parking for all as you 1 need a car to get to work. If you provide more housing, for more people, that population must be met. There's lots 1 of kids bored, the BMX track is a start in the right direction, but think more is needed. In Fraddon, we have had enough new developments in a small scale cluster style. The 1 green spaces are what gives us the freedom to be Cornish. Increase density in existing settlements. People don't need/use large gardens anymore. 1 Allow higher buildings, loft conversions, additional storeys to stop land consumption. Infrastructure is inadequate for even the present housing. When the A30 was the main 1 route through Fraddon where did all the cars park that now park on the road or pavement. It is not very likely that local young couples could afford the deposit for their own home 1 - can the parish support 100% mortgages for them as they do in other counties. It is simply stupid to keep building houses without sorting that out first. 1 It seems certainly in the Higher Fraddon area that previous 'Green Belt' / rural farming 1 fields are allowed to be built on. We moved here because of the rural lifestyle. Not to see it built upon for the benefit of the landowner. It's not a semi-rural area anymore. Its turning into a suburban town. 1 Jobs and infrastructure needs to be in place for additional residents, 1 Just to say I am totally in favour of affordable housing for local people. 1 Keep the green spaces and farmland. 1 Local houses for local people. 1 Locals who have plots of land who wish to build should be given the support too. Quite 1 often locals are refused planning. Lots of 2/3 bed houses, yet fewer larger properties to move on to. 1 Make affordable housing available at FAIR cost and to single parents both MALE and 1 FEMALE. Too many times single parent FATHERS cannot get suitable, fair priced accommodation via Council stock. Make sure services for all villages including sewerage are upgraded, single level 1 properties for elderly and small scale 1-2 bed starter flats for first time buyers/rent. Make sure they have parking spaces within their property. 1 53

No of 10. Further comments about housing issues responses Many new houses built in Summercourt are aesthetically poor. Summercourt perhaps 1 isn’t the prettiest/nicest place (compare to Mitchell) but that is no reason not to encourage better development. More affordable housing is desperately needed, houses need to be built but the local 1 infrastructure to support these developments is just as important. Unfortunately until I see developments that aren’t there solely to make someone very rich then we are fighting a losing battle. More affordable housing needs. 1 More houses built, means bigger schools also bigger doctor's surgery. 1 More housing will create more problems. This is a village, not a town, and it should stay 1 a village. Need more houses to accommodate the people who need it, and strict guidelines of who 1 have the houses. New builds should have their own car parking spaces for 2 cars - you have to travel 1 everywhere to get anything - communal car parking areas are a lousy idea - they never work. An idealized idea that falls flat on its face every time. New houses should be small and in keeping with the character and appearance of the 1 area. New housing is not always a bad thing as the population grows more houses will have to 1 be built but it is very important not to ruin the area just to gain a few houses and to fill the wallets of developers. No just don’t build, simple. And on the grape vine I have heard a 10,000 seater stadium 1 has been put for planning for Indian Queens, is this really viable? No more, enough is enough. 1 No, other than that we have already got a VERY BUSY cluster or roads and more traffic 1 and parking would be very unhelpful. No, they don’t really affect me. 1 Not enough affordable houses to rent. 1 Not enough of it. 1 Not enough parking as most house's now have at least two cars plus work vans. 1 Not enough parking spaces. 1 Not to build large number of affordable housing in one location. 1 Only that the schools and other amenities can cope with most people and that they are 1 built in places where the roads can cope with increased traffic. Over the past 20 years the parish has seen a vast increase in housing. Most of which not 1 going to local people. Overcrowded. Why should those who don’t live or visit the parish have the final say in 1 more houses? We are used for a dumping ground for overspill of other areas. Parking! I know the legal requirement is 1.5 cars per house, but in real life no-one has 1 half a car. It's nonsense. People from outside Cornwall are buying houses that should be used for local residents, 1 todays youngsters can't get a look in. People should be able to develop their own property, but we should have more power 1 over estates being built. Please do not build on our 'green and pleasant land'. 1 54

No of 10. Further comments about housing issues responses Preference should be given to affordable housing for local people. 1 Proximity of shops, post office, church and community centres should be centrally 1 positioned to any major developments. Put a stop to planning approvals that are not started for five years - then just before the 5 1 years expiry is up, they make a token start and then doing nothing leaving sites overgrown. I feel in these situations planning permission should be revoked. Quantity of housing should match demand - everyone who needs a home should be able 1 to have one at a fair cost, especially people whose formative years have been spent in the parish, and whose families may have lived here for several generations. Residential houses being neglected by private landlords and tenants making the parish 1 unsitely. Sadly the parish planning committee cannot be relied on follow their own guidelines, or 1 to be honest when decisions are queried, or site visits undertaken they cannot be trusted. Shame some people can't tidy up what they already own. 1 Should be affordable housing for Cornish people and families. 1 Smaller bungalows for the elderly with walk in showers. 1 Summercourt is a long 'cross shaped' village so maybe infill is a good idea. 1 Take this as an opportunity to set a strategic plan so that single house developments, or 1 smaller numbers, also contribute to the wider parish infrastructure needs eg set funds aside for sewerage upgrades, GP/dentist services, schools. The Cornish village idea is very important and should be maintained as much as 1 possible. And green space should be protected at all costs. The current housing estates are too cramped already (Kingsley Court) and no further 1 schools have been built! It’s a village!! The locals cannot afford the so called affordable houses, on the rates of pay we get in 1 Cornwall. Low wages, high bills. The new housing estate off Chapel Road has the majority of 'non-Cornish local/families' 1 this was NOT as it was explained by the company who dealt with building the estate it is also not helping Cornish/local families. The only issue I have is when the Council rejects a building application is when it goes 1 to appeal its normally granted. ALL WRONG. The parish council should ensure that any illegal building work/development is stopped 1 immediately. The St Columb Road site would lend itself to the original plan for flats - especially for 1 older people downsizing - near to shop, doctor and public transport. This could also hopefully result in the release of social housing for the local young families in need. The surviving green fields should be protected to stop the 3 villages become one large 1 'urban' block. They currently provide vital breathing space and help maintain the village/rural feel of the main development centre. The older/traditional buildings should also be protected from inappropriate development/conversion as they help preserve the original character of the villages, which is currently being swamped in 'magnolia boxes'. There are already a number of empty houses in the parish now. Building more would 1 result in more being unoccupied. There is the concern of on street parking, which i s presenting safety/congestion/problems 1 everywhere now. And, what about the environmental issues of allowing small scale turbines/solar panels being included in future housing projects? 55

No of 10. Further comments about housing issues responses There’s not enough for young families. 1 Think there should be more housing for locals and put a stop to second homes. 1 To really take into consideration the views of residents and to listen carefully. As many 1 have very good ideas and suggestions. Look at road network. Too much affordable housing and mixing buy, let and part buy causes a lot of issues for 1 the residents as to the behavior of children. Traffic/parking. 1 Traffic/parking/improvement of local amenities. 1 Truly local people should be the ONLY consideration for more housing. 1 Unsympathetic proposed development such as the repeated application from Jennings 1 construction near Blue Anchor should be refused. We do not agree with the trend of reducing garden sizes by building properties on 1 existing garden land. We have many people in affordable housing who are not from this area - stricter 1 checking should be in place. We no more houses in the parish as the housing round is enough. 1 We should remember that this is a cluster of villages. 1 Why can't we build on our own farm land around our own property for our daughter and 1 in-laws. Without a large increase in house building within Cornwall my children will never have 1 the opportunity to own their own houses as I do, they will all turn into 'rental prisoners' earning money for investment buyers. Yes - too many houses, no parking spaces or garages - suggest off road parking. Perhaps 1 some flats as gateway to the housing market. Yes, let’s stop this building on every piece of land wealth big or small. 1 You can have as many houses as you want but where is the employment coming from. 1

SECTION 3: EMPLOYMENT LAND

Ten surveys were not completed for this section.

1. Do you agree that the land listed should be safeguarded as employment land?

77% (575 respondents) would like land identified (and listed in the questionnaire) to be safeguarded for employment.

1. Safeguarded as Employment Land No of respondents Agree 575 This is of no concern to me 67 Do not agree 53 Maybe 2 TOTAL 697

2. Do you agree that more land within local clayworks should be utilised as employment land?

77% (571 respondents) would like the local Clayworks land identified to be utilisted for employment.

2. Local Clayworks utilised as Employment Land No of respondents Agree 571 This is of no co ncern to me 61 Do not agree 48 Undecided 2 Perhaps 1 TOTAL 683

Respondents who agreed to the utilization of land within local clayworks for employment land added the following comment: “But not near houses.” “ONLY in small increments as demand necessitates (x 2).” “I think the land should be utilised somehow.”

3. Do you have any suggestions as to where new employment land could be located within St Enoder Parish?

A variety of locations across the Parish were suggested where employment could be situated. Full list of locations detailed below:

No of 3. Suggestions where employment land could be located within St Enoder Parish Responses No. 21 1) Vacant land bordered by Newquay Road from industrial development to the T- 1 junction and the road from T-junction down to roundabout outback to station. Land at Newquay Road on left side should be maintained as green field. It is used extensively by wildlife (deer, foxes, pheasants, etc). A lot of unemployed would be needed if houses were built around the old clayworks. 1 Any brownfield site. 1 57

No of 3. Suggestions where employment land could be located within St Enoder Parish Responses Anywhere it doesn't impact on green field or housing. 1 As with housing, the land has to be bought from someone, and not everyone is willing to 1 sell. Back fill the big holes and then we will have plenty of space, for employment land and 1 housing! Below land at Damerells Indian Queens. 1 Benallack, Mitchell. 1 Can't see where there is any land other than green fields, which should be kept. Don't 1 want to be a Town. Close to A30. 1 Do we need more employment land? There has been opposition to a new supermarket at 1 Trekenny. Industry is not always a good tiding for a village. Newquay is only a bus ride away for employment. Don't know the area names to offer a suggestion on this question. 1 Each application should be decided on its own merits. 1 Existing employment land should be made available to young entrepreneurs. 1 Existing land developed possibly. 1 Extension of industrial park to the east. 1 Finish the large industrial estate on Moorland Road there is plenty of room there. There 1 is also land on My Lords Road which could be used for industry. Further development of Kingsley Village and Moorland Road Business Park in the fields 1 behind Damerells etc. Gaverigan would have easy access to main A30 and local area. 1 I don’t know the area well enough yet to make suggestions on this point. 1 I have reservations on the suitability of Goonhoskyn for further development the current 1 use causes nuisance and disturbance to residential buildings nearby. I think it’s great to make better use of the industrial estates but don’t think it should be 1 expanded. I really do think it will lose the village feel. If a business wishes to relocate to the area then the previous sites should be offered in 1 preferences. However, any new business with a 'plan' should be allowed to do where it is most suitable for them. If it hasn't been used since 2008 you need a new plan, or scrap the idea. 1 If it’s not used now it’s probably not going to be. 1 Imerys. 1 Indian Queens Industrial estate where Bakery is, Honda Garage if anything 1 could be done down there. Indian Queens Industrial Estate. 1 Industrial land brings employment! Good points - close to the A30. Local employment 1 reduces carbon footprint. It is a bit late now, but the amenity of local residents should be considered when 1 developing an industrial estate it is absolutely wicked that the Indian Queens development. Has completely blocked the view of the residents opposite. The development should have been kept lower and properly screened with landscaping, and any new proposals should bear this in mind.

58

No of 3. Suggestions where employment land could be located within St Enoder Parish Responses It should NOT be by diversification of farm buildings, and increased industrial use of 1 land in small hamlets. It’s probably under scrutiny anyway but I think Lodge Way should be developed. 1 Kelliers. 1 Kingsley Village should not increase in size. Why bypass a village and then build a new 1 village on the bypass. Land at Chapel Town - opposite Clock Gararge - by main A30. Been a wasteland for too 1 long - good access for the right businesses. Land behind Damerells Motorcycles. 1 Land close to A30 for access not on the main road (old A30). 1 Main roads near the A30 e.g. St Austell Street or Parka Road in Fraddon. 1 Need more time to research. 1 No further new sites but utilise existing outline planning areas in Indian Queens. 1 No! However, I am concerned that employment land will attract outside work force ie 1 Portuguese workers. This will not benefit locals! Not at Higher Fraddon. Lane access already overwhelmed with heavy vehicles! 1 Not sure what is private land unsuitable. 1 Not sure. 1 Old A30. 1 On Brownfield sites and using vacant industrial units for short term leases (starter 1 businesses). On moors not on green fields. 1 Parka Road. 1 Part of the six hectares at Indian Queens should be set aside for the construction and 1 provision of a multi department supermarket, for food, clothing and other hardware and supplies, nothing outrageous but in keeping with the parish and its surrounds, then the parish would be complete in its needs. Penhale Moor (good access to A30, and central in county for distribution). 1 Please don't turn St Enoder into an industrial area. Siting employment land 'behind trees' 1 is acceptable. R&O Yard. 1 South side of the A30 for a retail centre. 1 St Columb Road as it has good access links via road and rail. 1 St Enoder Parish is central in the county so it makes it ideal for jobs and being right by 1 A30 gives easy access to most routes. Summercourt has enough employment land already and further should be restricted here. 1 It would make more sense to utilise employment land already available in Indian Queens. The 'employment land' should be only where there are now industrial premises. Too 1 much land is being taken away - Cornwall will become a vast estate! The old engine house and stack and adjacent wood near St Columb Road ie Treverva 1 Farm. The parish is centrally located for many opportunities for job creation. 1 There are derelict buildings within the clayworks which could be well utilised. 1

59

No of 3. Suggestions where employment land could be located within St Enoder Parish Responses There is a general over supply of employment property in the southwest, as witnessed by 1 lack of local utilisation. We don't need any more. There should be no more designated employment land. 1 To the south of Highgate Hill junction access off A30 with minimal traffic travelling 1 across country. Also by Summercourt onslip east bound A30. Toldish. Sumercourt. Fraddon. Some in-filling is desirable to keep families together. 1 Top of Highgate Hill. 1 Towards the Clayworks on southern side of village. 1 Until the existing units/land are full and occupied, why build more? 1 Use the land which has industrial units on them already, if they are old and run down 1 rebuild on that land but do not make the site any larger. Utilisation of previous buildings/land should be concerned or re-developed. 1 Utilise the industrial estates. 1 We already have too many empty industrial units - and our public transport links are 1 poor. There are better opportunities at the aerohub for example - improve links to there. We do not need any more industrial units. 1 Well away from existing houses, as the noise would be a problem. 1 Where it is easily accessible off the A30 only. 1

SECTION 4: RETAIL, FOOD, LEISURE AND OTHER FACILITIES

Seven surveys were not completed for this section.

1. Do you agree that existing shops in the main built-up areas of the Parish should be protected from redevelopment into housing?

88% (654 respondents) would like to see existing shops protected and not developed into housing.

1. Protect existing shops in Parish from redevelopment into housing No of respondents Agree 654 Do not agree 41 This is of no concern to me 16 TOTAL 711

One respondent made the following comment: “Because they are essentially used.”

2. Do you agree that existing public houses and restaurants should be protected from redevelopment into housing?

86% (641 respondents) do not wish to see any of the current public houses or restaurants developed into housing.

2. Protect public houses and restaurants from redevelopment into No of respondents housing Agree 641 Do not agree 50 This is of no concern to me 14 TOTAL 705

Two respondents who agreed with protecting public houses and restaurants made the following additional comments: “Restaurants but not pubs”. “Unless they fall into disrepair”.

3. Do you have any suggestions about which land within St Enoder Parish could be identified for the provision of more shops, etc?

A variety of locations were suggested for the location of more shops. The Kingsley Village site, and on undeveloped site in Parka Road were popular. The full list of locations are detailed below:

No of 3. Suggestions for land for more shops in St Enoder Parish responses No. 12 Kingsley Village site. 12 Opposite doctor's surgery in Parka Road on undeveloped sites. 6 Don't need more shops. 5 61

No of 3. Suggestions for land for more shops in St Enoder Parish responses Kingsley for a supermarket. 2 Parka Road. 2 Use disused clay areas. 2 1) On the land along Parka Road and Fraddon Hill could provide housing and shopping. 1 2) Land beyond Toldish following old A30. A supermarket on Trefuller Moor. 1 A supermarket would be a great addition to the village - but build on outskirts of village, 1 up by 'VW Ga rage' area. However a small shop would probably still be needed in middle of village for the elderly of the community. Again, depending on land ownership, it would be good to have an area comprised of 1 several small shops, and cafes that would become a social hub. However, the size of the parish could make it impractical for some of the population to use. We need to keep all existing food retailers where they are. Along School Road as the road is a bit quieter, plenty of parking spaces and a lot of 1 passing public. Any area just off A30 eg by Carrs Garages and Happy Days. These are easy to get to and 1 have space for development and parking. Any unused, derelict spots which are currently an eyesore. It would be preferable to have 1 new builds of any kind than unused ones which become overgrown/tips. Area near A30 'out of town' shopping centre which would create jobs. 1 Chapel Road, Moorland Road, St Francis Road, could all have shops on them as they had 1 in the past. Chapel Town. 1 Co-op needs to be bigger, maybe Moorland Road area. 1 Current provision is entirely adequate. 1 Do something with that wasteland opposite AJ's Eats & Treats. It’s been an eyesore for 1 years. Don't build any more houses and we don’t need more shops. 1 Either side of Parka Road, by Parka Mine. 1 Existing land in Fairview Park/Parka Road - been empty for years. 1 Fraddon as it is fairly central and close to A30. 1 Gaverigan development sound good. 1 Gnome World area. 1 I believe a larger supermarket is required to service the local community - which 1 includes St Dennis etc. But there is a need for local convenience store / service. I do not believe there is a need for any further shops. There is currently choice and 1 flexibility to meet the needs of the local co mmunity. The current infrastructure would not have the capacity e.g. for car parking etc. There are already dangerous situations when the car parks are full at the Co-op, Port & Starboard, Chinese takeaway when people park on the road. I don’t know the area well enough yet to make suggestions on this point. 1 I don’t think we need large shops or "out of town" style shopping venues (big ones). 1 Small shops ok - but need to improve parking for such. Need a pub Indian Queens/St Columb Road end. I feel present facilities are o.k. 'Next' arriving soon and a revamped Co-op. 1 62

No of 3. Suggestions for land for more shops in St Enoder Parish responses I think it is important to support local businesses rather than big companies! 1 I understand that the Kingsley food hall is to be a Next Shop, and within a year a 1 supermarket chain will take over the remaining store. This was told to me by the butcher at Kingsley last Christmas when they were closed down. If other sites were found to relocate the Co-op I think that site could be redeveloped into 1 housing as it is in a very built up area with very limited parking and poor access by road (narrow, with lots of cars parked). Area around A30 slip road to Truro (opposite) as off a good road and near Kingsley Village. If Sainsburys is coming to Kingsley surely we don’t need much else. Ke ep them in retain 1 parks. This is Cornwall not Essex! Indian Queens Industrial Estate a grocery shop. 1 Indian Queens industrial/business park. 1 Is there any land!! 1 Kingsley Village can be discounted it is an elitist shopping area, on the route of many 1 coach trips, and is too expensive for most local people to be able to do their weekly shop there. In any event, the food hall has now gone. Kingsley Village needs to re-state its food hall. 1 Kingsley Village. Affordable grocery shop. 1 Land below Kingsley Village (good access). No need for large delivery vehicles (LGV) 1 to access the village. Land to the rear and eastern side of Carrs VW. 1 Little 'cornershops' should be built within new housing estates. 1 Maybe the land on Parka Road opposite AJ's could be utilised for more shops. Doesn’t 1 the man who owns Kingsley Village also owns that land? More at Kingsley Court. Next is good - more brands to the area. 1 More shops at St Columb Road. 1 More shops should be included as St Enoder has increased in size but shops etc reduced. 1 Multi-nationals like McDonalds and Starbucks should be removed in favour of local 1 business. Near Kingsley Village/McDonalds Fraddon. 1 Need a supermarket close to the A30 perhaps Summercourt area. 1 Next to the industrial estate by the A30. A supermarket that is competitive and gives a 1 good choice of fresh food (the end of Lodge Way) 'access via Moorland Road.' No but could do with an Indian takeaway. 1 No idea but considering the area is enlarging there are very poor facilities for food 1 shopping and restuarants and because of this we pay more (especially petrol). No need. There are plenty of big supermarkets close by and good places to shop also. 1 Just need to keep the existing ones. No, but a food store in Fraddon is very lacking, older people have quite a journey to Co- 1 op, St Columb Road. No, but the addition of a larger type store would be good for the area, with proper 1 negotiation and with assistance given to local area charities and local services. No, I do not feel more shops are needed. There are ample amenities etc for local villages 1 and supermarkets and towns are accessible by cars or public transport although a butcher is now missing from the parish. 63

No of 3. Suggestions for land for more shops in St Enoder Parish responses None at all. With all the supermarkets being built in all the towns around us, I doubt if 1 small shops would be viable. Old school Indian Queens. 1 On derelict site close to the crossroads at St Columb Road. 1 Opposite the Doctors surgery at St Columb Road, there is a derelict John Julians store 1 which could possibly house a number of shops. Outskirts maybe but keeping it easy for the elderly. Maybe community car/bus/vol. 1 driver. Parka Hill. 1 Part of the six hectares at Indian Queens should be set aside for the construction and 1 provision of a multi department supermarket/store, for food, clothing and other hardware shopping and supplies. Keep it simple and in keeping with the parish and its needs for the future. Penhale could join the Kingsley Development area. People can access it easily by car or 1 on foot. We need a B&Q or Range type shop. Kingsley is always busy so I think additional development would be very successful. Penhale. 1 Possibly off the small island at the end of Fraddon near Vincents Tractors - on the road 1 to Probus near the back of Kingsley Village. Rubbish land (eyesore) St Columb Road opposite sandwich shop and doctors surgery. 1 This land I know is subject of debate but if undeveloped is a continuing eyesore. Sadly whilst small convenience stores would be welcomed the population at present 1 could not sustain them as viable income sources for owners. Shops need to be commercially viable without being propped up / subsidised. 1 Small shops on housing estates, always proved successful, all over the country. 1 Some existing buildings which were once shops could be converted back to retail. 1 South of Indian Queens bypass. 1 St Enoder Parish is adequately served by shops, etc. Unless they can be incorporated 1 onto existing sites. The empty space across the road from Woodland View in St Columb Road. 1 The existing properties/businesses should only be protected if they are profitable and 1 provide a service to the local community. The former post office at the crossroads at Summercourt which is currently closed - 1 could be turned into eg takeaway outlet/doctors surgery/hairdressers. The horrible looking area at the bottom of Fairview Park that Kingsley own. 1 The Indian Queens Industrial Estate land on route to the Goss Moor earmarked as 1 industrial unit space (near Gnome World). The industrial estate seems like there is room for improvements, one particular area looks 1 terrible. Would that be an area to consider? The industrial estates. 1 The land off of Lodge Way could be developed into retail outlets to give people more 1 choice. The parish has no role to play in determining commercial decisions of local businesses. 1 There are adequate shops etc in the area. 1

64

No of 3. Suggestions for land for more shops in St Enoder Parish responses There are two areas in Summercourt which need developing. The disused plot of land 1 opposite the post office/shop and the industrial units adjacent to our estate and Dales Garage. There is no point in providing more shops. We do NOT need another "Next" moving into 1 the villages. There must be some room on the Industrial Estate at Queens for a bargain supermarket 1 (Lidl, Aldi). Triangle of land between St Columb Road, Indian Queens and Fraddon. 1 We agree that something needs to be done to improve shopping facilities etc. The old 1 properties/shops are too small we need a supermarket! Indian Queens Industrial Estate good place, somewhere in Fraddon below Kingsley. We have sufficient if local population does NOT increase. 1 We need a proper shopping centre, in the middle of town. The best place for this would 1 be the land between Pa rka Road, Francis Road and Chapel Road. We then could have all the proper shops needed, with car park and play area, beside the school. So parents could deliver or collect children and shop at the same time. In our centre area need a butcher, baker, chemist, greengrocer, selling local produce. Also a library, parish office, post office. This would then be near the garage, builders merchant and Co-op. We should have banks, bigger doctors surgeries etc but not sure best place for them. 1 When Kingsley Village realise that removing the food hall for a Next/Starbucks combo 1 was a big mistake there will be plenty of space down there. Would be great if a new retail area could be zoned so that main services were closer 1 together a village centre with shops etc.

4. What do you think about the recent changes at Kingsley Village?

Due to the current developments at Kingsley; the comments relating to the old Kingsley Village development have been removed.

5. Would you be supportive of more “High Street” shops or restaurants coming to St Enoder Parish?

There was a close split of respondents – with some wanting new “High Street” shops or supermarkets, and some not wanting any. Full list of comments below:

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses No. 95 Yes. 78 Only supermarket. 10 No! more 'local' shops needed - if you want 'high street' shops. You have St 9 Austell/Newquay/Truro. Keep villages supporting local suppliers. Yes - employment. 7 Yes, as long as the local shops are protected. 4 65

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses Depends what they are and where! 3 Not needed, just bringing back food hall. 3 Possibly. 3 We need a pharmacy/chemist shop. 3 An Aldi/Lidl store would be ideal. People want cheaper outlets. 2 Depends on which ones. 2 Maybe. 2 Prefer local produce shopping outlets. 2 Yes - if they were affordable 'High Street' shops. 2 Yes in the right area. 2 Yes, an Indian restaurant would be nice. 2 A few but not many. 1 A high quality pub is required rather than the "spit and sawdust" places in Indian 1 Queens/Fraddon. Another "Plume of Feathers" would be great. A restaurant would be welcomed but I do not feel and more high street shops would be 1 on interest to locals. Absolutely - it will take cars off the roads if people can shop locally. 1 Absolutely not. We should try to preserve the parish's charms - not turn it into another 1 bland place with the same tedious shops. Another "Spar" type shop is needed with post office on site. 1 Definitely not. Truro has enough nationals and multi-nationals to satisfy most shoppers 1 and this would not benefit the local community. Definitely. 1 Depends on what is was and what it's replacing. 1 Depends on which 'high street' shops are involved and whether they are suited to local 1 needs/wants. Depends what is proposed. 1 Depends what they are and if it's of use to our community. 1 Don’t overdo it. 1 Don't know. 1 Even if you wanted them they would not come! 1 How do we get the people to come. Was Kingsley Village food shop supported by 'local' 1 people. I do not think so. I don't want to feel like I live on the edge of a retail park/industrial estate with no 1 character, but I am open to carefully considered development which increases choices and opportunities for locals and visitors alike. I would like more variety of shops nearby for example health food shops like Holland 1 and Barrett or Hendra, chemists like Boots and Superdrug, supermarkets. Etc. I would support a chemist and supermarket. 1 I would support shops that are local in origin and diverse as long as they don't pose a 1 threat to existing shops. I won't support national chain stores, McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, Costa, Weatherspoons etc. I wouldn't be opposed to having some extra shops in the village to save travelling outside 1 ie pharmacy but access and location would have to be looked at carefully. 66

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses If it brought a needed service to the community and there is evidence profit would be 1 made then yes. If it was like Truro where they have them together like where Matalan and Wickes 1 amongst others are. If like Kingsley it’s on the outskirts of the parish it could be good. 1 If there were several shops in the same location (as could materialise with plans below) it 1 would be well utilised but would obviously need good access from the bypass/A30 to prevent additional traffic using main roads in the village. If they were affordable. 1 If they were of genuine use to the village. 1 In addition yes but not if it means sacrificing what we already have. 1 In favour of local companies that support local economy. 1 In the sense of 'using' them not very much unless it saved me a trip to Lidl or Aldi or 1 Morrisons. An outlet 'mall' development is too ambitious for the parish purse unless a whole area could be developed as an 'out of town' venue for Mid Cornwall and visitors. Is there really the demand for it? 1 It could have a negative effect if not closely controlled. 1 It depends on how much it affects the businesses in the villages - eg pubs, etc. No - no 1 need. Plenty everywhere else leave the parish 'village like' but improve public transport links! It depends on the shop, it is in direct competition with a local business then I wouldn't be 1 supportive as although they would be cheaper it would cause the local business to close. It if adds jobs yes. 1 It's not for me to support them - I don't use them. No - small villages need butchers, 1 bakers, grocers, fishmongers, not high street shops. Keep the junk food out. We could use a new healthy food restaurant. 1 Maybe weekly or monthly food markets at Fraddon Hall on Saturday mornings. 1 Maybe. It would improve employment on the other hand lead to traffic problems. Ok if 1 does not interfere with local independent businesses. More high street shops based around Kingsley Village. 1 No - it will put local businesses at risk. 1 No - it wipes out small shops and communities but we don't really have many shops so I 1 guess it wouldn't make much difference. No - look after the ones we have already. No - where would they go? 1 No but would support the opposite ie farmers market. 1 No its not Newquay or Truro. 1 No more restaurants please. Don't think 'high street' stores would be supported by enough 1 people over a long period. How about a large DIY store in the parish. At prese nt we have to travel to St Austell or Truro. No more restaurants, plenty now. Let’s support what we have now. Of course, adding 1 jobs and interest to the local area. With Brewers Fayre and McDonalds available, a high end restaurant would be appreciated. No not at all. Towns are for shopping and having a good day out not in the village. 1

67

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses NO! There are already enough in the large towns. We need support for small traders; 1 facilities, rate enhancements etc. No, as it would lose the local connection, between shops and locals. 1 No, but the floodgates are now open. 1 No, but would support smaller independent shops i.e. cobblers, dry cleaners etc, baker, 1 grocer. No, more local independent businesses are required. 1 No, not if there would be another retail park or high street, a food outlet near Kingsley 1 Village would be a welcome addition. No, supermarket yes. A pharmacy may be useful. Not to shops that would not be used by 1 locals. No, think enough development has taken place and with the use of internet now for 1 shopping on the increase no need for new shopping. No. Clothes shops should have been located in a town centre; as it is an out of town 1 shopping centre generating unnecessary car journeys - can't believe it got permission - contrary to planning guidelines. No. High streets are in decline for this reason - business moving to out of town sites. 1 What a shame this is! No. I would be supportive of individual, locally run, shops eg a butcher, baker, 1 greengrocer, fishmonger, hardware store etc. No. It would attract too much traffic. Also, it would affect towns like Truro, St Austell 1 and Newquay. No. Keep villages as villages. 1 No. More scope for small local retailers - we are not a commercial retail hub, we are a 1 residential community. No. So many empty shops in Truro, Newquay and St Austell. Surely its better to fill 1 those rather than take trade away from struggling areas? No. They should be located in nearby towns maintaining their high street and town 1 centre offer. No. We need retail food facilities with adequate off road parking to provide competition 1 with Co-op and Queens Garage. No. What is the point? By nature of our location most people are used to travelling to St 1 Austell/Truro anyway. The only exception would be a chemist ie Boots. That would provide an essential service, I feel. Not if it brings too much more traffic to the villages. 1 Not if to the detriment of local traders. 1 Not necessary in our opinion. 1 Not particularly. It would depend on the shop/restaurant. 1 Not really, the local businesses are better for the community and should be encouraged. 1 Not really. I think there are enough "High Street" shops within a reasonable area if 1 people wish to use them. Not really. We moved here to get away rom the repetitive high streets like Truro, owned 1 by those out of the county. One well known supermarket would suffice. 1 Only a food shop - we haven't enough variety at present. 1 68

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses Only the useable everyday shops already too many shops for tourism. 1 Perhaps if they were high quality and met a need. 1 Personally do not think this would be economically viable or necessary. 1 Potentially - depending on what type and where as well as parking facilities. 1 Probably. 1 Restaurants would be good, but supermarket needed. Co-op not big enough or has 1 variety. Shops like Boots the Chemist and Waitrose would be welcome. No burger joints or fast 1 food outlets. Shops, yes. Large supermarkets - not particularly. Small cafés, craft shops, tea rooms 1 would be nice. Shops. 1 There are sufficient already. 1 These are villages - I would like them to keep their uniqueness. The service area at 1 Fraddon is so handy for the A30 that I feel no more areas like it would be suitable for the parish. This is a rural area, I am sure residents move here to live a relatively quiet life, we have 1 the main core of shops. Take these High Street shops to much needed towns like Newquay or St Austell to help their regeneration. This would be dependent on the nature of the shops, etc. certainly not more 'gift' shops 1 and we have enough restaurants or similar. This would bring more employment to the villages, but make them loose their 1 individuality. To Kingsley area yes as it has already been developed. Other areas no. 1 To some extent. High street shops too often mean the demise of smaller shops. 1 Traditional shop, yes i.e. chemist, butcher, bakery, general stores. 1 Use of a high standard. We were happy with Kingsley village, not now. 1 Very. 1 We already have 12 restaurants in this town. They are all very busy. That is without the 1 two holiday villages at Whitecross. We need a supermarket in the area - parking and prices at the Co-op put me off using the 1 facility. We need local shops to supply local produce. 1 We need more food shops. 1 We would be supportive of the Food Hall re-opening that's for sure. All we cater for 1 nowadays are the young ones who do not care about anything but clothes etc. What about the older generation who love to cook from scratch (the Food Hall kept ingredients not to be found anywhere else. Not to mention a "proper" butcher). We would support more shops of an appropriate type. 1 Whilst it is a good idea to create jobs, one should consider the impact on existing 1 businesses eg r estaurants and pubs. We hope somebody else opens a Food Hall similar in style to the one in Kingsley Village. Would they? 1 Yes - a good quality restaurant - Prezzo? Pizza Express? John Lewis!!!!! 1

69

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses Yes - as it would give us more choice and be more accessible. 1 Yes - depending on WHERE. 1 Yes - if sufficient demand, access and parking. 1 Yes - if within existing companies ie Kingsley. 1 Yes - small shops. 1 Yes affordable shops and restaurants more competitive public house. 1 Yes as long as it meets the needs of our community. Fresh fruit and veg shops, 1 supermarket. Yes as long as they are reasonably priced. A Morrisons or Matalan would be nice. 1 Yes especially B&Q or Homebase. 1 Yes if appropriate but ultimately the market will dictate what people like. 1 Yes if built on Trefuller Moor. 1 Yes if it helps the parish. 1 Yes if located in the right place so as not to cause any infringement to village life eg 1 local residents more traffic through villages. Yes on the outskirts adjacent to existing developments. 1 Yes preferably not national chains paying minimum wages. Need more good local 1 business. Yes this would be good for local people and will generate income. Extra traffic would be 1 an issue so location would need to be close to the A30 as Kingsley Village is. Yes! But only in the right place. The Industrial Estate in Indian Queens would be ideal. 1 Yes!! (only if they pick up their own litter though). 1 Yes, although it would also be good to support smaller independent local companies. 1 Yes, but not at the cost of more local businesses. 1 Yes, but not too many! 1 Yes, but only in one area. 1 Yes, but with more information first. 1 Yes, but would surprised if they would be financially viable. 1 Yes, depending on the shops/restaurants and location. Summercourt could benefit from a 1 local takeway outlet such as a fish and chips or chinese takeway perhaps. Yes, depending on where they are located. 1 Yes, depends on size, location, type of shops. 1 Yes, I agree at moving forward. Currently we have to travel to either Newquay, Truro or 1 St Austell to do shopping and to have more here would be brilliant. Yes, I would if the traffic to get to these shops was not through the villages - Fraddon is a 1 nightmare to drive through. Yes, I would very much prefer this arrangement; it would create a more vibrant village 1 centre. Yes, if contained on one side at Indian Queens land. 1 Yes, if it provides local people with jobs plus we are central for the whole of the county. 1 So if we had some decent shops it could be handy and bring money to the area. Yes, if they are in appropriate areas such as outskirts of village. 1 Yes, if they were individual shops and not just big conglomerates. 1

70

No of 5 Support "High Street" shops or restaurants responses Yes, if they were not supermarkets. 1 Yes, if they were 'useful'. 1 Yes, it would be good for the area. 1 Yes, it would save many people having to go to Plymouth for the big shops, and bring 1 the money into Cornwall where it should be going. Kept it on and in our own backyard. Yes, more facilities will bring jobs and financial income to the local economy. 1 Yes, not only would it be good for St Enoder residents but more "High Street" shops etc 1 would bring more jobs and money into our community. Yes, provided they came with a caveat to pum p some money into improving facilities for 1 the local populations in addition to providing jobs. Yes, provided we are sensible with who they are and what they can offer the local 1 community. Yes, providing they source local produce. 1 Yes, the location near Gaverigan is ideal. 1 Yes, with more housing we will need more shops. 1 Yes, within reason and sustainability to local established stores, etc. 1 Yes, would provide more job opportunities and bring in business from surrounding area 1 due to the central locations and good links. Yes. It would provide tangible benefits/attractiveness to the area as well as a national 1 wage rather than a lower local wage which many local businesses get away with paying.

6. What do you think about the potential development of land to the south of the Indian Queens bypass?

Many respondents support the development of the land south of the Indian Queens bypass, as it would bring local employment opportunties. However, some respondents are unsure what is planned, and some are concerned about the impact on local businesses.

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses Good idea. 62 No thank you. 24 Good for local employment. 22 I would need more information before commenting. 10 I think that would be too much development. 4 Not sure. 3 As long as its in brown field site. 2 No problem. 2 1) More leisure facilities for young people would be great for the Parish. 2) Not sure 1 we need a giant supermarket. 3) A stadium would bring more visitors and their cars into the county. A good place for a stadium etc, as it is so central and would take the pressure OFF 1 Truro's congested roads. Too much is going to Truro! There could be shops somewhere close to it? 71

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses A large supermarket, leisure facilities would be advantageous to the community as 1 long as disruptions to local residents are minimal. A stadium and non-food retail can be accessed in Truro (planning in progress). A major supermarket would be beneficial. 1 A stadium and leisure facilities fine. Not a supermarket it would be very harmful to 1 local shops in Indian Queens, Fraddon etc. A stadium and leisure facilities would be wonderful especially for young people. Why 1 we have enough supermarkets already keep the fields for food. A stadium next to A30 makes sense but I wouldn’t want it as my neighbour. 1 A stadium/leisure facilities would be appealing although there is Atlantic Reach. 1 A supermarket may affect the custom of Queens Garage and Co-op unless the Co-op 1 were to relocate to new site. Non food retail would be an asset to the area. Leisure facilities may affect the business of Atlantic Reach. Not sure how much use a stadium would get and could it pay for itself and not at taxpayers expense. A supermarket would be useful, but the other facilities would be inappropriate - there 1 simply aren't enough local people for such a business to succeed, as witnessed by Kingsley Village. A very positive thing - local jobs and would bring people to the area - possibly not so 1 good for the local Co-op! Against this, there is no point in propping up local retail and then destroying it with 1 outlets that will attract locals while pretending to cater for tourists enroute down the A30. Agree whole heartedly. We need to welcome businesses to ensure future employment 1 and create a thriving parish. Agree with potential development. St Enoder is central in Cornwall and would be the 1 ideal place for such a development. Always good to have more facilities, but in the village (or close to) seems better to 1 avoid lots of rural traffic etc. Any development must be landscaped to an agreed standard. 1 As long as access does not affect the residential areas of the villages we are in favour. 1 As long as suitable road and transport connections are made available, with minimal 1 inconvenience to local people. As long as the facilities are out of town it should protect the local shop. A stadium and 1 leisure facility is a GREAT idea. As this location is south of the bypass it would appear to be beneficial. However the 1 use of 'greenfield' land should be considered versus previously developed sites (if available). At first sounds good but it could become a white elephant like St Austell town centre. 1 Trying to persuade large stores to be there might be hard and most jobs would probably be part time. Can't see any need for stadium if one is being built in Truro. 1 Can't see how it would work - supermarket yes, but not stadium. 1 Cornwall needs a speedway track back, ideal venue, straight off the bypass no concern 1 for noise. Stadium for Cornwall maybe (with a track) not Truro, wrong location. Possible site for new industrial site with high street shops.

72

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses Could be beneficial? If traffic managed well. 1 Could be good for the area, having another supermarket within 8 mile radius would be 1 welcome. Could be good for the community if the developments were High Street priced. 1 Could be ok. Needs more investigation by our elected representatives. 1 Could benefit local businesses somewhat however increased traffic volume would be 1 a concern. Could bring benefits to local area in terms of jobs, facilities due to its location. 1 Could cause a lot of traffic in an otherwise quiet area, we have supermarkets all within 1 a 10 mile radius, surely this development would be better placed nearer our capital city in Truro. Could potentially be good but would like more information. 1 Definitely not. We already have an electric station, incinerator and clay works, surely 1 that is enough. Depends on roads as A30 busy already. 1 Depends on what is the final decision on facilities. 1 Development which provides jobs for local people is good, however with the 1 accessibility. Proximity of Truro/Newquay/St Austell the suggested development seems slightly excessive. Did not know anything about it! Would like to know more before they offer a price 1 and close down our dairy farm. Do we really need more supermarkets? 1 Don’t agree disruption velocity of traffic roads can't cope now, and am skeptical it 1 would regenerate money in the area. Don’t need another supermarket. Road and services would not carry development of 1 this size. Traffic will swamp area. P1) Don't think its needed. P2) Sound good if no public money used. 1 Excellent idea - especially for local people. 1 Excellent idea, hopefully would bring more jobs and more money into the area which 1 could be used for local people. Excellent idea. Good road links and good use to heal the scars on that particular 1 landscape. Fantastic idea close to A30 centre of Cornwall. Easy to get to from all parts of the 1 county and futher afield. First I've heard of it. Good idea - supermarket well needed. 1 Give it consideration. 1 Good (if it ever happens). 1 Good employment opportunities so must be good would increase footfall so all local 1 businesses would benefit. Its just off A30 so no major concerns for extra traffic not coping. Good for the local economy and larger area of St Dennis, Treviscoe and St Stephens. 1 Good idea - need a facility for all ages. 1 Good idea for sports stadium as a lot of people enjoy sports. Supermarkets etc not 1 really needed.

73

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses Good idea, would be good facilities for local people, increase in availability of jobs 1 and location near the A30 means visitors would not need to drive through the villages. Good idea. Good location. 1 Good location for access. A stadium for Cornwall would be good and could create 1 visitors to the local area. Good, welcomed. But access and parking needs to be adequate. 1 Good. It would answer problems such as lack of amenities and also maybe crack 1 down on anti-social behavior. Have not heard. No information to give a view. 1 Hopefully will bring more businesses to the community. 1 Horrendous. This area south of A30 has not previously been developed and will open 1 flood gates for increase in development in this area. I am very much in favour of this proposal, providing it can be proved that the stadium 1 is sustainable and won't be a drain on the local people. I cannot give an opinion without seeing the plans. Maybe this would work, but only 1 on a small scale with no further expansion. I do not support such hyper-development, which would change character of the area. 1 I don't know anything about this! Do we need to have stadium/leisure facilities? 1 I don't think it is needed and will have problems with traffic during the summer 1 months. I feel I would like to know more details before I decide, but it seems that - as large as 1 it did not affect local residents this could be an asset to the area and secure all year round employment for many people. I feel that this is positive if it brings employment and improved economy to the area. 1 I have heard this will be going to Truro. I really don't think the roads would be ideal 1 for it. I like the idea of development, however I believe a stadium is a bit extreme and not 1 needed however a local pool, supermarket and few shops are good. Just not too big! I saw an article about this proposed development. I was particularly intrigued as it 1 mentioned about the excellent rail links in the area! I would be interested to see if a major rugby or football game were to take place at the stadium, how many would arrive by train. As mentioned previously, I don't think large "High Street" shops are needed in the parish. I strongly agree that this would be a positive development for the local area offering 1 local residents facilities that they would normally need to travel for, an added benefit of jobs. I think a stadium and leisure facilities would be excellent addition. 1 I think a supermarket would benefit us? Leisure facilities - would need more details. 1 I think it would be great for the area and if Queens Rangers football team could play 1 in the stadium would be excellent, to save us sorting the pitch out down the rec every year, plus painting the changing rooms toilets etc. I think it would be very good as Cornwall needs a stadium and as we have the airport 1 and we are easy access by road, and once again, big retail shops are a must. I think it’s a brilliant idea. More employment and we defto need more leisure 1 facilities.

74

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses I think it's a great idea, I'd like more choice of shops nearby. 1 I think the proposed development is at first stage too ambitious. 1 I think the stadium and leisure facilities would be good. Not so sure about the 1 supermarket and non-food retail. I think this could be a good thing especially the sports arena as already suggested. It 1 could be used for so many things from sports to the arts. I think this is a good idea as long as the access is well thought out and doesn't impact 1 on existing housing. I think this would be good for our area giving employment to local people therefore 1 bring money to the parish. I think this would be of more benefit to the community and provide more opportunity 1 for local employment. I thought that this sounded like a good idea to bring more facilities closer to home. 1 Agreed - land should be developed into something useful. I welcome this proposal. It would bring much needed jobs to the area and provide mid 1 Cornwall with more leisure facilities. I would be concerned about this. NO - too much development already we don’t need 1 anymore supermarkets in this county! No to stadium. Use somewhere near mainline train station! I would be happy with the stadium and leisure facilities as long as there were more 1 than adequate parking facilities. My road often gets used as an overflow car park when Kingsley hold a special event. I would be prepared to fight the proposal on the grounds that it would alter the whole 1 character of the area, provide no wealth for local people. I would fully support this venture - it would be wonderful not to have to travel to a 1 supermarket and a new development, would bring more jobs to Indian Queens. I would not object, creates jobs for the villages, less travel to supermarkets. 1 I would prefer shops which I could walk to, but have no objections to a well-designed 1 scheme, provided it is not in green belt land. It is imperative that al green belt land is protected from any development. I would support this as it would provide employment and make it easier for us to shop 1 locally rather than use our cars so much. Ideal position, easily accessible from A30 especially for a stadium and retail/non retail 1 development. If done using local people and input from residents to the surrounding areas taking 1 into consideration then maybe a good thing. It has to be affordable and accessible for locals. If it creates a stadium for Cornwall, jobs and a 'positive' for the area then I think it is a 1 good idea. It is centrally located in the country and could create something special. If it is done properly and there are shops that we need, as well nonfood retail at least it 1 will be out of the village. If it means "does the proposal to develop the 25 hectares" sound like a good idea, then 1 yes. Providing the housing requirements are sensible, spread out, and available for local people. If it supports the local community, businesses and produce then it could be positive. 1

75

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses If it was for affordable housing I would agree to it, but what it has been reported as 1 going there is a waste and not needed. If people can't be bothered to shop at Kingsley Village - why would they shop at 1 Gaverigan. What would the stadium be used for and who would use leisure facilities there. People need all the year round shopping - are there enough. Local people who would travel to use the facilities - bearing in mind cost of petrol, etc. If proper access was included this could improve employment possibilities in the area. 1 If the supermarket etc funds a stadium, that is a good proposal for the centre of 1 Cornwall. If there really is a need for this scale of development then St Enoder does seem a good 1 bet, however this is green field site whereas old clay workings abound and would be more suitable. If this goes ahead all previous questions re: shops and facilities seem to be of no use. 1 If this supermarket is developed you will kill off all the local businesses in the area. 1 Traffic on A30 will increase which we can't cope with now. I'm all for a stadium & leisure facilities and non-food retail if this was smaller 1 businesses but I really don’t think we need a supermarket at all. I'm not adverse to this development, logically it is a perfect location for such a 1 development as it is on the A30, mid Cornwall and not impacting on the village too much. Again, if done right it will be an asset for locals and villagers alike. In favour especially a supermarket and stadium. 1 In my view it is not needed if it is going to be another Kingsley Village, it will not 1 benefit local people and don't quote 'employment' they will be part time jobs at minimum wage. In principle the development seems to be a good idea. However, it appears 1 contradictory to close Kingsley Village Hall, whilst this plan would authorise new development of a supermarket. In the sense of 'using' them not very much unless it saved me a trip to Lidl or Aldi or 1 Morrisons. An outlet 'mall' development is too ambitious for the parish purse unless a whole area could be developed as an 'out of town' venue for mid Cornwall and visitors. It has potential if the right businesses were involved. 1 It is a bad idea, this would attract a lot of traffic as everyone would have to get there 1 by car, it would be better where there is also a rail link. It on waste or disused (Imery's), it will be of benefit but I wonder how easy it will be 1 to get there by local communities and roads would need to be carefully planned to ease congestion. If it's wasteland then ok, if farmland no. 1 It will add jobs so long as excess roads are from A30 and not local villages. 1 It would be an improvement over the current use. 1 It would be great to see a stadium in Cornwall especially if used as a music venue 1 also, as it would bring big name acts to the area. The employment opportunities for local people would be very welcome. A large supermarket in the area would be handy as Newquay/Bodmin/Wadebridge are the current alternatives. It would bring more traffic to the area but there would be good access to the A30 and 1 bring Indian Queens some notoriety. 76

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses It would certainly upmarket St Enoder Parish, especially if a stadium was part of the 1 scheme. It would put this parish on the map, bring in people all over the county. Would only 1 be good for jobs and people of parish! It’s plausible but strict controls of the type of shops must be maintained. 1 Leisure facilities - yes. 1 Maybe good for the village - would need more details to decide. 1 More entertainment and leisure would be welcome but retail of that scale would be 1 inappropriate as we're so well served in Newquay. With online shopping leading the way. So comprehensively, new retail units would be a mistake. Much needed - Cornwall stadium and leisure facilities. Would be great for the 1 villages. Put us on the map. Bring it on! Never liked the plan to build a stadium in Truro, the idea of a stadium for Cornwall 1 that could include speedway would be great. Supermarket would be OK and to fund the stadium we would have to have others. No it is green field. We do not need it with Truro and Newquay being close, also we 1 don't want the extra traffic. No opinion - in sufficient information to formulate one. I would prefer Kingsley Food 1 Hall back again. Big supermarkets such the life blood out of small businesses. No preferences. 1 No to supermarket definitely! Stadium and leisure facilities would probably be 1 beneficial, although not on a large scale. Would it be another Kingsley Village scenario after a few years? No. Don't want it and it will spoil the area. 1 Not a lot! What happened to the lovely countryside. It is all being built on just a mass 1 of concrete. Not another supermarket. 1 Not bothered clay area a blight anyway. 1 Not enough knowledge to judge for or against at moment but in general not in favour. 1 Not heard anything about this!! 1 Not in favour of large scale developments in a rural county such as Cornwall. 1 Not more supermarkets 1 Not much! The present bypass has already hit, and put out of business many small 1 concerns - which we have all previously supported. The 'Gateway' is now another McDonalds/coffee house site, threatening local trade. Not necessary for that much when we are reasonably close to Newquay, Truro and St. 1 Austell. Not necessary! Traffic density would be beyond the capacity of local roads. 1 Not needed! Such development would saturate the parish. Infrastructure unable to 1 support. Nearby towns are crying out for such investment and regeneration. St Enoder doesn't need such drastic change. Not required. We have supermarkets nearby - Newquay: Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi; 1 Sainsburys; Wadebridge - Tesco; St Austell - Tesco, Asda. Not seen plans but feel it would be good. 1 Not sure - depends on the detail. Stadium would be good. 1 77

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses Not sure. It would be better than another massive solar far/windfarm site I suppose. 1 Road system would need to support it though. Not welcome - do not wish to live on the edge of such a development. There are 1 many supermarkets already within easy reach. I do not believe this would be beneficial to the parish. We are very fortunate to already have leisure facilities e.g. Goss Moor - ideal for walking, running, cycling with good public transport and online shopping there is no need for yet another supermarket. On the whole a good idea. A variety of leisure facilities for local people to use at 1 prices we can afford is long overdue. Would a decent size swimming pool be included? Pie in the sky. 1 Pointless and overkill. National chains have no regard for local wellbeing and their 1 site positioning causes the failure of indigenous businesses. Possibly the best area, away from local housing. 1 Preferably no. We are supposed to be getting a supermarket at Kingsley Village soon. 1 Another food hall like we used to have would be good. Many, many people including tourists miss the one that has gone from Kingsley Village. Presumably this is greenfield land? If so not really in favour. 1 Probably a good idea, but it needs the infrastructure to support it. We have enough 1 traffic coming through the village now. A swimming pool would be nice. Reasonable location, might bring a number of jobs. 1 So long as the increased traffic aspect was addressed adequately. 1 Sounds good if it does not damage local shops. 1 Sounds rather a large project. We would need to see some tangible plans or/and 1 figures before any type of judgment could be made. St Enoder centre of Cornwall, bring it on, let’s get started. Fantastic opportunity not 1 just for St Enoder but Cornwall desperately required, why not St Enoder, get it done. Stadium and leisure facilities are a must to get people active. Something I am 1 currently working on but major retail outlets are putting a strangle on small business retailers. Stadiums need to be very big to work. We don't need underfunded leisure facilities. 1 Do it right or don't bother. Supermarket and non-food retail maybe. Stadium and leisure? Cheaper/free entry to 1 facilities. Supportive as long as residents in that area are happy. 1 Tesco Metro's and companies of this kind are popping up everywhere. Although a 1 supermarket closer to home would mean less travel for local people, I don't feel this is necessary. We have access to numerous supermarkets in Newquay, St Austell, Truro, Bodmin and a supermarket would adversely affect local business/local produce. That would be amazing - to create jobs and entice us all to spend - within our parish. 1 Great idea. That would ruin the lovely Goss Moor trail. 1 The idea of stadium and leisure appeal. But is it GOOD land being covered in 1 concrete.

78

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses The leisure facilities of the proposed sound positive and also the stadium. The need 1 for a supermarket and non-food retail is questionable. The proposed supermarket will only take custom away from the local Co-op at St 1 Columb Road, the Spar Shop at St Dennis. As for a stadium - not sure it would have enough support to stay open. The result would be the closure of the privately owned shops in the village. 1 The road structure will not cope. Wagons to and from incinerator every 9 minutes. 1 Visitors already jamming the roads, they will not return. Stadium and leisure possibly. The stadium for Cornwall would be perfect as it would be close to road, rail and air 1 infrastructure. The other development would be essential to make it worthwhile to the developer. The stadium is unneeded. Will it be in use enough to warrant its price and land usage. 1 We don't need clothes shops here for anything but jobs and employment. The supermarket would force the Co-op to shut. The leisure facilities would directly 1 impact on Atlantic Reach and Carvynick. Cornwall needs a proper sports stadium so this I would be pleased with. There's your answer to question 3. 1 Think it would spoil the area. 1 This area should not be developed in this way. More large shops are not needed in the 1 parish. The stadium and leisure facilities are a good idea. This could be a great opportunity for the local community and could provide many job 1 opportunities for local people. This development cannot work, as there will be least 500 lorries a day traversing the 1 two roundabouts to this road. We will not be able to get to either St Dennis or Trevisco, o nce the incinerator is up and running, it is does. Without the incineration it may work. This is a rural area, links to Newquay and the heart of mid Cornwall, via A30, are 1 adequate, leave well alone. This is RIGHT on my doorstep and therefore I have to object. Plans have clearly been 1 developed for Threemilestone why change the location? This is unnecessary. 1 This kind of development would be great for our parish. 1 This type of thing would be better near Truro (stadium). Would still got to Morrisons 1 in Newquay. This would be good for the area if a stadium was built. Nonfood retail is good to, but 1 not keen on supermarket unless perhaps an Aldi or Lidl as they are a bit smaller scale. This would be good for the area. Leisure facilities for locals would be a bonus, more 1 jobs etc. Nearest supermarket is Newquay or St Austell for us - all very busy during summer. To be treated with caution. 1 Too big for the area. 1 Too large a scale for rural development. 1 Too near residential areas. 1 Totally against this - inappropriate to develop this area. 1

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses Unsure as not seen exact area for development, certainly a talking point among 1 workmates from outside Parish asking questions. Would agree with stadium/leisure facilities not another supermarket needed. Very good, but maybe having a pharmacy there would be good as there is no where 1 around here to get medication. Very good. We need a supermarket for local people. 1 We believe that Cornwall needs a stadium and I don't think its any good situated in 1 Truro, the traffic in there is horrendous. A stadium, supermarket, shops plus leisure facilities would be great for the local area and the county. It would help for tourism in the area and perhaps it would put a little value back on the properties in the St Dennis area. For any games held at the stadium they could travel by road, train or plane. We do not need another supermarket, non-food outlets or a stadium (which could be 1 used for activities causing noise and disruption). We don’t need a supermarket. This would take business from the smaller shops. 1 We don't need another supermarket but a leisure centre would be ideal. 1 We have a split agreement in this household, whereby one agrees there could be some 1 potential. The other disagrees because of yet more 'green' land being used. We see no reason why it shouldn’t be a good thing for the parish, especially the 1 stadium. Not sure about the supermarket proposal though. We think it is unnecessary and will spoil the area. 1 Welcome the provision of supermarket and sports and leisure facilities. No to housing 1 and non-food retail. What I may "think" and what notice is taken of the parish opinion is two different 1 things! Where would the shoppers come from? Who wants to play in the stadium? A pool 1 would be nice, but viable?? Wherever a food outlet is built, how will the majority of people get there? 1 Whilst we do not have a local supermarket or retail centre such a development would 1 kill off the existing services. Will kill off shops already struggling to survive against the supermarkets. 1 Would be amazing if it happens! (As long as it is carefully done). 1 Would benefit the community - jobs, services and leisure. 1 Would make it even more a 'passing through' place. May bring extra business. 1 Would need more information but can see issues around access/increased traffic. Also 1 do we really need more supermarkets? Would provide more jobs for local people plus more revenue for the community. 1 Hopefully without making the need for more houses. Would support such a development - not sure about the size - possibly smaller area? 1 Not sure - possibly the size of the one that is in opposite McDonalds? If we get a 'Band Q' or similar would definitely use it. Yeah, we need a supermarket and maybe some shopping area. 1 Yes again this would be great for local people but again access needs to be straight off 1 the A30. Yes for supermarket. Yes for stadium and leisure facilities (providing that they are 1 affordable). 80

No of 6. Development of land south of the Indian Queens bypass Responses Yes that is fine. We think this would be good for the area. 1 Yes to supermarket and non-food retail eg DIY store but no to stadium. 1 Yes, but careful consideration must be given to planning vehicular access away from 1 residential roads, especially as St Francis Road is used as a speeding rat-run/racetrack. Yes, but not housing. The stadium and retail would mean jobs. 1 Yes, I would if the traffic to get to these shops was not through the villages - Fraddon 1 is a nightmare to drive through. Yes, this could be useful and would probably not affect much in that area. 1 Yes, we need further choice and facilities within the parish. 1 Yes, yes yes. It is short sighted to think that this would destroy local business. This 1 would create healthy competition and bring in more people.

SECTION 5: TRANSPORT, TRAFFIC AND RELATED ISSUES

One survey was not completed for this section.

1. Are you concerned about the amount of traffic in your area?

62% (464 respondents) are not happy with the amount of traffic in the Parish.

1. Concerned about amount of traffic No of respondents Yes 464 No 239 This is of no concern to me 15 TOTAL 718

If yes, please explain Speeding traffic, parked cars and the amount of traffic were high on the various comments given by respondents. The full list of comments is detailed below:

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Speed of traffic through village at times. 6 More parking required. 3 Volume. 2 "Rat runs" developing on even the smallest roads. Speeding, use by heavy vehicles, 1 anti-social behavior such as littering, drink-driving, etc. A big part of this problem is all the new houses. That will of course add to more traffic. 1 Action needed to the roundabout at Highgate Hill - traffic coming up the dual carriage 1 way from Newquay regularly cuts cars up going into Indian Queens. Again the increased traffic up the road to Higher Fraddon. 1 ALL through traffic from Wadebidge (A39) should be routed via dual carriage to 1 Highgate and on to A30 for Truro or Bodmin. Keep approach to Fraddon and Indian Queens "Access Only". Already high levels of traffic in the summer, and the new development in Newquay will 1 increase traffic in St Enoder. Although A30 need to be dual carriageway ALL the way! 1 Although boy racers are a huge worry. 1 Amount of parked is the problem. 1 Amount of traffic not really too bad it’s just where people park ie Fraddon and St 1 Francis Road plus people do drive too fast. At times some of the roads ar e quite busy but over most of the day they are not too bad. 1 More concerning are the speeds through the 30mph zones. At times. 1 Barton Lane has suffered in huge increase in traffic and as a result there are many 1 travelling too quickly and without suffi cient ability to navigate the many hazards on the road. Farm machinery has damaged the banks alongside so that it has become much wider (re: faster). It is used as a 'rat run' by many from new housing nearby.

82

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Because of no pavement in the lower parts of St Austell Street to nearly up to the 1 village we never walk because it is dangerous. Better facilities for parking and large lorries for McDonalds and the redeveloped 1 Kingsley Village. Better road structure would be needed. 1 Biofarm is creating more traffic and roads are not good around area. 1 Biogas plant new gas main. Roberts trucks lorries so much in one small lane. Too fast 1 killed cat already. Danger to children outside. Boy racers speeding between McDonalds roundabout and My Lords Road roundabout 1 2-3 times every week (evenings) speeding in general. Over 7.5 ton vehicles coming through ignoring the signs not to. Building more houses, but have not improved the roads, around the area eg off road 1 parking on the old A30 etc. Somebody is going to be seriously injured or worse. But Summercourt is dissected by A30 and A3058 so I don’t see how you can do much 1 about it. Bypass is very busy and cars travel down it far too fast, speeding controls should be put 1 in place. Can't move around village for parked cars also there is no traffic calming in St Columb 1 Road or Fraddon as there is in Newquay and other villages around the parish … Why?? Car parking on pavements around top of Barton Lane and vans parking on pavements 1 too much especially on Barton Lane. Cars parked everywhere and anywhere. 1 Cars parked on roads around Queens, Fraddon, St Columb Road, making it hazardous 1 to drive around the area. Cars speeding through village and too many cars parked on the road. 1 Cars, lorries and agri-machines speed up as they cross the A30 bridge on the A3059. 1 No speed restrictions are in place. Concerned about parking especially. LGVs not a problem as a formal LGV driver who 1 would shortcut through the village re. parked vehicles, etc. Concerned about the additional traffic using the biogas plant. The roads of Indian 1 Queens, St Columb Road and Fraddon are not fit for purpose for such regular increased traffic. Concerns relate to lorries etc that still pass through the village. 1 Congestion in Suncrest Estate at school time, particularly where it meets the Drang. 1 Council changed road layout at Scarcewater junction forcing large artic lorries to 1 thunder past our house at 57mph on both sides of road. They don't slow down. We have several young children that live up here. We've had accidents, electricity cables pulled down and several cars damaged and near misses. Dual carriageway/St Columb bypass gives us speeding - especially superbikes and 1 young car drivers - and considerable noise. Even local drivers in our hamlet cannot restrict themselves to 30mph, for the sake of 1/2 mile!! Volume of traffic in summer is considerable. Especially at Indian Queens School. 1 Extremely busy main roads with lots of on road parking. 1 Far too many heavy vehicles. 1

83

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Former A30 in Indian Queens has no traffic calming measures. At night people drive 1 way over speed limit. Also parking restrictions are never enforced. Fraddon Hill. This road is used as a cut through to the A30. It is a main bus route with 1 lots of cars parked on the road making it difficult to pass during rush hour periods. From Fraddon Post Office to roundabout down Fraddon Road. 1 From St Columb Major to Indian Queens is getting bad with parked cars, even larger 1 vehicles. St Francis Road is an accident waiting, where bad drivers have no respect for others. Getting more difficult to get out of lane into road, speed of cars (mostly rat run trafffic) 1 making it dangerous. Speed limit is of no concern to most of drivers (on phone most of them). Having to access school through residential housing estate. Also parking when 1 collecting children blocking access to private dwellings. Parking and traffic flow in St Enoder could be a real problem. HGVs on A392 could use the airport road to get from Newquay to the A30. 1 Higher Fraddon is a LANE not the M5. It is a single track mainly. It is being abused by 1 heavy lorries, arctics, LGVs, cement mixers, all sorts, getting stuck on corner knocking down walls, damaging block driveways and damaged lane surface (PHOTO – see bottom of table). Higher Fraddon is a small hamlet with more lorries than the M5. 1 Housing developments bring more vehicles - vicious circle! Traffic still continues to 1 pass through the villages. I agree with 2008 plan, but since this time nothing has been done to address these 1 problems? I am afraid it is a problem that we all have to face. 1 I am concerned at the estimated amount of large lorries that will be used at the new 1 biogas plant. It is said that there will be no access road from the A30 so lorries will have to use village roads. I live at the turn off from the A30. All traffic comes past my house at speed. 1 I live in Higher Fraddon. There is no footpath/pavement and many heavy goods 1 vehicles come up and down the road. Also, the road past the Blue Anchor gets very busy with no room for 2 cars to pass. I live in Ridgewell Terrace. Someone rolled a car earlier this year. The speed of traffic 1 is worrying. I live on a main road - often difficult to park and I often see cars quickly stop outside 1 preventing collisions with cars coming the other way. I live on a small lane with a fairly large number of homes. We also have contractor 1 related traffic which are noisy and do speed. We now have also LGVs delivering to the biomass generator site to construct it to be followed by numerous large lorries (LGVs) every day supplying a plant along a lane not wide enough for two cars to pass in many places. How can this be right when the A30 is so close and more appropriate for this type and number of vehicles? Immense traffic comes through our villages exceeding the speed limit. Where children 1 are playing and walking to/from school etc. Very dangerous as cannot see to come out of our residential area due to parked cars and amount of speeding traffic.

84

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Increased use of a previously quiet lane at Gummows Shop due to Whitecross 1 developments - especially large vehicles. Increasing fast traffic in lane. 1 Increasing traffic taking shortcuts through the village. Yes, speed and noise a big issue 1 now the added problem of lorries in Higher Fraddon. It goes too fast and is too heavy for the roads. 1 It is dangerous as people drive too fast. We live by Fraddon Post Office roundabout - 1 you hear the screech of brakes all day long. Traffic calming required. Traffic - particularly through traffic far too fast. We are encouraging children to walk to school but it is dangerous in many places for children and their parents/carers to cross the road due to the volume & speed of traffic. It is not safe to have larger fairground rides parked outside on the road at anytime, 1 sometimes for days and nights even when the fair is not here and they are just waiting to move on. It is not the amount of traffic, it is the speed the travel. Also where they park, there is a 1 housing estate next to me and residents cannot be bothered to park in the allocated spaces behind so park on the pavement and road outside including 3/4 cars per house. Therefore causing a nightmare to go out of your own drive and try to look up/down to try and see oncoming vehicles. It's a rat-run through Fraddon at peak times and a shortcut for LGVs who should stay 1 on the A30 until the next exit. It’s hard enough now trying to battle along St Columb Road with people parking 1 outside the Co-op! Let alone with more traffic. It’s dangerous. It's like a dodgem track from the corner of Parka Road up to the Port and Starboard and 1 should be made one way traffic with traffic lights n the Queen-Railway crossroads. Just chaos as times when road works close etc. don’t think enough thought or 1 preparation or planning goes into it, like what impact will it have. Just the speed of the traffic through Fraddon and Indian Queens. 1 Lane from Highgate to Fraddon. Use all day every day from 6.30 till late, far too fast 1 and dangerous, not good for our gable end. Large lorries - Barton Lane supposed to be banned but road sign is faded and old! 1 Nothing done since 2008 then as it is now worse! Large vehicles for local business and developments. My daughter can no longer walk 1 down the lane alone. I have also had a cat killed by a lorry and the children cannot sleep with their windows open due to the noise emitted from the vehicles sometimes very late at night/early in the morning. LGVs are a hazard. 1 LGVs are still coming through the village despite the signs. Speeding is rife, especially 1 at the Fraddon end. Sometimes I cannot park outside my own house due to too many cars, and I am disabled! Living along Moorland Road (the old A30) the traffic is really bad, but they seriously 1 exceed the speed limit as well which causes problems pulling out of drives etc. when cars are also parked on the roadways as they have not got sufficient parking with their NEW houses. Living at Higher Fraddon concerned about homes currently using road up to farm. 1

85

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Living in Higher Fraddon it is a nightmare. Cars, LORRIES going far too fast on a 1 small road and now the building of the bio-gas digester. The road is not built for the extra traffic. Living on a single rack road there is no point in Highway diverting traffic down it in 1 event of closure of A30. Also use of land at either end for commercial use (Carbost and Carnysick) increase use as a "rat run". Now Cornwall Council plan to reduce inspection to once a year instead of twice. Living on the main road through Fraddon is a nightmare. Far too much traffic. 1 Lorries and delivery vehicles using Fraddon as a short cut. 1 Lorries will be feeding Higher Fraddon Bio-Gas - how many? Suggested at least ten a 1 day. Who is going to maintain country lane? Traffic caused by lack of off road parking. Lots of LGVs through Summercourt recently, maybe due to Andy's Loos? Most traffic 1 is cars but they do go too fast. Main concern parking besides road throughout village/also parking outside Co-op right 1 up to sharp corner (accident waiting to happen). Main roads through Fraddon, Indian Queens, St Columb Road are getting more and 1 more congested. Would like to see tractors, HGVs and other large vehicles banned (not buses tho). Tractors and other agricultural vehicles are biggest problem. Mainly it is OK but I often find the road where the current post office is, ie Blue 1 Anchor Pub, I often see incidents of speeding as drivers seem to be at times ignorant of oncoming traffic. As there is a row of parked cars (no problem with that, people live there) and they don’t always give way to oncoming traffic causing people having to reverse etc to make way for them. I don’t think anything can be done to correct this as it is purely down to bad driving. Make village one way, utilise the bypass. 1 Many local residents are concerned about the amount of traffic in the area, but do not 1 consider that actually on a national or even regional scale it is still very low. Many lorries going through villages - too fast. Cars speeding through village as they 1 come off the by-pass. Too much noise from the by-pass, it needs new "quieter" tarmac. McDonalds overflow car park, racing through village. 1 More about the quality of traffic i.e. the boy racers. 1 More housing building lead to more vehicles/commuting. Housing development must 1 include enough off road parking. In Fraddon I believe some motorists cut through the village from the A39 to A30 and vice versa. More yellow lines and enforcement close to Co-op in St Columb Road and the road en 1 route to Fraddon. Most visitors seem to come through Fraddon off the A30 for Newquay. Which brings it 1 to a standstill in summer. Mostly no. 1 My main concern is parked vehicles clogging the roads. Sometimes you can be sat for 1 ages while a gridlock sorts itself out. This has got progressively worse in the past 2 years. I suppose this does keep speeds down. Narrow lane needs quiet lane status to stop cut through speed hounds. 1 New Road. I've been knocked over by fast traffic while walking my dog. Next door has 1 twins. The speed recordings have done nothing.

86

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses No enforcement of present parking restrictions anywhere, no enforcement of speed 1 limits anywhere. No traffic calming measures in place anywhere. Fraddon, Indian Queens, St Columb Road are simply a serious accident waiting to happen!! Of course, Cornwall Council tells us that they have issued over 100 parking tickets in a 12 month period?? Really?? Must be invisible PEOs. No more 'one way' or traffic calming to damage cars. 1 No. Pedna Carne is a quiet residential park home site however trying to negotiate 1 through Fraddon due to parked cars is very difficult. Not enough parking. Therefore cars are parking on the roads causing potential hazards 1 particularly in Fraddon and St Francis Road. Not improved since the 2008 findings. Vehicles/drivers speed excessively, large 1 number of LGVs hauling through parish. Little traffic calming measures. Car parking infrastructure unable to support school drop off/collection traffic = parking on pavements. Not just amount but speed of traffic especially buses and HGVs. There should be more 1 cycle/horse riding routes around the parish (please?!). Not much can be done as St Austell Street is the main road between Newquay and St 1 Austell. Not so much the amount as the speed, constant tyre squealing of cars and bikes around 1 Gavergan roundabout and speed down Gavergan Hill. Often difficult to get onto Halloon roundabout due to density of high speed traffic 1 travelling towards A30. Old A30 run through Chapel Town Summercourt and still carries a lot of traffic and a 1 large proportion of them are travelling too fast. On street parking on St Francis Road through Fraddon and Summercourt-Newquay 1 Road has become endemic. Inconsiderate driving increases the problems to danger level. On the Penhale Roundabout there is a 7.5ton limit sign (except access). The amount of 1 HGV vehicles using the old A30 road as a short cut has increased (eg Kays Transport of Grampound). Also, speeding young drivers going through the local area! Only mopeds, very noisy used usually by kids. 1 Only with regards to the speed that they travel through the main road. Also Kingsley 1 tends to attract 'boy racers' Parka Road is like living on the A30. The traffic never stops, the speed of the traffic is 1 bad. Lorries, big buses, any sort of vehicle use Parka Road day and night. Parka Road, old Newquay Road - traffic too fast. 1 Parking in Fraddon is a nightmare. Too many houses but not enough off street parking. 1 Parking of cars and roads too narrow for the amount of traffic using the village. 1 Parking on corners/junctions is very dangerous. A few near misses have occurred on 1 junction of Fairview Park next to surgery and pasty shop. Parking on main roads in village especially of larger 'campervan' type vehicles are a 1 danger. Parking on residential and through roads - mainly overnight. 1 Parking on roads really bad around area. 1

87

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Particularly at the junction opposite Port and Starboard at peak times and going up past 1 New Garden towards Queens Garage where cars park/overflow onto the roads. People don't know what 30 mph is. You've got scooters and motorbikes coming and 1 going up and down through the bars beside the band hall also they're riding up beside Queens Pit. People ignore parking restrictions - double yellow lines, etc. HGVs delivering to Co-op 1 at St Columb Road park on bus stops area!! Nice! Probably not so much the amount of traffic, more about the speed. I live in a 30mph 1 area and traffic often speeds up there at 50+ mph. I think traffic calming should be put in place to slow them down (Parka Road). Recent developments in Higher Fraddon have increased traffic hugely. A massive 1 amount of articulated vehicles regularly use Higher Fraddon’s roads. They drive incredibly quickly with little through for the residents, their cars or the actual people who live here. Recent increase due to biogas plant. Although in favour of the plant the lane cannot 1 sustain this type of traffic. Road at top of Barton Lane. Very busy. Hard to see before pulling out coz of parked 1 cars in the way. Seems to be much increased. Heavy goods vehicles speed up Highgate Hill- fairly quiet 1 road - or once was but there are young families and pets and the increased volume and speed concerns me. Since A30 by-passed! The Roche cross section we have become rat runs all around the 1 Clay area. So many cars having to park on th e road because there isn't sufficient parking with their 1 properties, makes it difficult to get up through Fraddon with traffic coming towards you. Some days you've got a job to get up through Fraddon - St Columb Road, because of 1 the cars parked on road. If houses have front gardens then I suggest they use them to get their cars off the street. Some very small country lanes people driving too fast. On street parking - blocking. 1 Fraddon exit/entrance to A30 dangeorus. People cutting across the wrong way on mini roundabout near Fraddon Post Office/St Columb Road junction and Indian Queens. Often vehicles cut corner off going eastbound and go wrong way over roundabout. Specifically parking - poor access on the route Fraddon, and St Francis Road Indian 1 Queens. Specifically, HGVs - they really should be made to take alternative routes AROUND 1 the villages, not THROUGH them. Speed - treated like race tracks parked cars on roadside (Fraddon and St Francis Road). 1 Lack of off road parking. Speed is an issue definitely, especially when visitors are in the area. 1 Speed of through traffic is bad. Roads blocked with parked cars. HGVs and buses 1 speeding through. Speed on Chapel Road. 1 Speed through Moorland Road. 1 Speed, pollution. 1 Speeding and LGV and cars parked on the road still an issue in the village of Fraddon. 1 88

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Speeding and parking in Fraddon and St Columb Road and elsewhere. 1 Speeding through the villages has increased, although I have seen less HGVs using the 1 village roads. Speeding traffic and cars parking along Beacon Road causing 'bottlenecks'. 1 Speeding traffic through restricted roads. Heavy vehicles plus parked vehicles 1 restricting constant flow despite police stating "traffic calming”! Speeding traffic through village (usually the young drivers). 1 St Francis Road is in danger of somebody losing their life, since 2008 nothing has 1 changed, let’s not let a death or serious RTA be the time to respond. St Francis Road traffic starts at 6am - constant till 9am; large LGVs, coaches/buses; 1 speeding traffic. Restarts 3pm till very late pm. Calming measures desperately needed. St Francis Road. Vehicles often travel too fast and the "on road" parking is getting 1 worse and more dangerous. Summercourt roads are very busy due to them being main roads. Buses stopping in the 1 area generate a “backlog” of traffic and make it difficult for us to get out of our driveway. Suncrest!! Co-op, St Columb Road. 1 The amount of HGVs using roads through the villages instead of the A30. 1 The amount of large lorries cutting through St Dennis. The roads at Gaverigan are not 1 wide enough to accommodate them. The speed is also a problem when exiting our property we take our lives in our hands. The amount of traffic could be managed by the issue of notices to those who park 1 irresponsibly. Traffic lights on 'fast sections' of roads. As I said before, where did all the cars park before? The amount of traffic flowing over the crossroads at Summercourt has definitely 1 increased. The amount of traffic going through St Columb Road and Fraddon, instead of using the 1 bypass. The amount of traffic going through the village is very high and the parking on the road 1 up to Post Office is mad. The amount of traffic is like living on a main road rather than using the A30. 1 The amount of traffic is ok, however I think the village does need some more speed 1 bumps. And the parking on 'Queens Garage' is dangerous that needs to be addressed. When walking my children pass it daily to school, it is frightening. The amount of vehicles accessing The Drang and Suncrest Estate at school times (and 1 parking issues) is a major concern for residents. There are several points at which two vehicles cannot pass at the same time causing congestion and may delay emergency vehicles. The Biogas Plant should be an improvement but access and exit to site MUST be from 1 the bypass, Higher Fraddon roads cannot support the amount of HGV traffic that is proposed, and the actual number could easily be double that admitted. The Chapel Road area is difficult to negotiate at peak times. Parking is really bad. 1 The congestion caused by cars parking along St Francis Road, and St Columb Road is 1 becoming a danger especially on the bends on St Francis Road outside Co-op and on corner and footpaths. St Columb Road, Newquay Road and St Francis Road crossroads.

89

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses The crossroads in St Columb Road is difficult to cross due to parked cars, getting round 1 the back of the Co-op is a nightmare. People without blue badges keep parking in disabled bays at Co-op. The increase traffic that we are seeing now raises concerns it will only get worse with 1 more housing. The lanes have become less attractive for recreation, walking etc. 1 The lorries now going through the Higher Fraddon to the Biogas plant - absolutely 1 appalling! It is a small lane! The main road through Fraddon is used as a cut through to avoid Hamburger Hill. The 1 number of cars parked along the road has also increased making it difficult to navigate along the road often. The main roads in the villages are very busy and very congested with cars regularly 1 parked on them e.g. the main road through Fraddon and St Columb Road. The old A30 can be used as a 'race track' by youngsters in the evening travelling far too 1 fast. The parking and the amount of traffic between Fraddon Post Office and Kingsley 1 Village. The parking for Goss Moor Tea Rooms on the road is irritating and causes access 1 problems for local houses. The parking situation by St Columb Road doctors has become dangerous with people 1 parking on bends and in the junction making it difficult for residents to enter and leave the estate. The road by Fraddon Post Office is terrible to drive up because of the parking. 1 The road outside Seaview Terrace is EXTREMELY dangerous, vehicles are meant to 1 slow past the houses but they don't. I believe it is only a matter of time before another accident will happen. Only a matter of time before someone is killed here, seems the Council is playing roulette with our lives by not putting in place calming. The roads are being used as rat road as high speed with no policing. 1 The roads are not suitable for the volume of traffic - vans, cars, buses and LGVs. 1 The school 'run' is particularly manic. This can be dangerous for local people, parents 1 driving and particularly the large number of pedestrians most of which are less than 11 years old. The speed in which they go through the village is not the limit. 1 The speed limit is much too high it should be reduced to 30mph. 1 The speed of traffic coming into Summercourt from Newquay given us great concern. 1 The speed of traffic up/down St Austell Street, given that there are areas such with no 1 pedestrian pathway is dangerous. The traffic is moving too fast, above the speed limits. Can't weight restriction be used? 1 The traffic is none stop through Fraddon, and if the incineration is completed the traffic 1 will be a great deal worse as people from Newquay and North Kernow will cut through Fraddon to get to and from the A30. The weight restriction through Fraddon are not being observed. 1 There are lots of parking issues. There is also the school drop off and pick up traffic 1 which is a nightmare. The boy racers past my house! The parking outside my drive so I end up pulling out in front of cars I don't see.

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses There are some things where a degree of control is not only desirable but occasionally 1 essential. This is one of them. There have been many accidents at Gummows Shop crossroads. Cars/vehicles speed 1 along the road at an alarming rate. We have children and pets. There is a lot of through traffic in the villages. Traffic control should be installed. 1 20mph should be introduced as speeding is a problem - especially in Fraddon. There seems to be a lot of traffic passing through the villages in the parish during the 1 daytime and night time. There should be a strict no HGV passing through the villages unless they are delivering 1 to premises in the village. There's too many cars parked along the roadsides blocking views of oncoming traffic 1 and restricting traffic eg the junction towards Newquay by the old post office in Indian Queens. Through Fraddon - excess speed. Too many vehicles parking on the road for the 1 amount of traffic that uses the road. Throughout the day and night the level of noise created by traffic is unbearable on the 1 A3058 running through Summercourt. There is excessive speeding HGVs and buses all day long, tractors/trailers you name it, it goes up and down our street. Horrendous and dangerous road for elderly people/children and adults to cross. Traffic calming is urgently needed for this road. Toldish Lane is used as a "rat run" to Castle n Dinas. 1 Too busy. Fraddon in particular too many parked cars. 1 Too fast on Chapel Road. Lorries using the road, should be 7.5 tonne and lower. 1 Parking for Chinese and chip shop needs sorting. Too many cars parked at the junction between old A30 and Toldish Lane. 1 Too many cars parked beside the road very often on corners which makes the roads 1 dangerous. Too many cars parked in the road causing congestion. 1 Too many cars parked on the main roads. 1 Too many cars parked outside their homes instead of in their drives. One reason I gave 1 up driving. Too many cars trying to park in St Columb Road area. 1 Too many parked cars on main roads through St Columb Road and Fraddon. 1 Too many people use the villages or shortcuts. In the evenings, at night and early 1 mornings mainly. Some speed big time. Some HGVs use as shortcuts also. Too many vehicles passing throgh at all hours - it is like a 'rat run' from St Austell to 1 Newquay - we need a bypass. Too much heavy traffic going through the village when the bypass could be used more. 1 Too much parking on roads. 1 Too much traffic - nightmare getting home. 1 Too much traffic and speeding vehicles and boy racers. 1 Too much unmanaged traffic by the school (Drang) is very dangerous. 1 Traffic around McDonalds/Kingsley Village can be heavy and amount of traffic flow 1 through Fraddon can cause issues, especially speed of tractors/LGVs.

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses Traffic calming required in Fraddon. More houses being built so more cars. Too many 1 large vehicles going through village. Traffic every morning (big lorries) parked on double yellows, some delivering to 1 Queens Garage. This parking on a bend causes a blind spot on a corner. Issues also on a Friday and Saturday evening at chip shop and chinese. Traffic going to St Columb and Wadebridge use village as a shortcut. Also tractors 1 carrying potatoes using village as a shortcut all hours. Too many lorries ignore the no lorry signs at entrance to village. Traffic in St Columb especially through Trevarren is high - the road markings and sign 1 are not up kept. Speeding through a rural hamlet should be restricted. Traffic is fairly constant stream which at the moment is manageable but with extra 1 housing / employment issues this would rise. Traffic on the 3058 through Summercourt has increased tremendously over the years. 1 However there seems little that can be done - it is a fact of modern life. Parking on Beaconside. Speed of traffic on A3058 and use of this road by very large long lorries which would be better going via A3075. Traffic parked on main roads is a problem. Numbers of cars per household also a 1 problem as houses have only been given one space whereas most people have two cars, this causes problems. Traffic speeding - but not in favour of speed humps. 1 Traffic speeding up the Drang, especially at school times. Cars parked on the yellow 1 lines make it difficult at school times especially. Traffic speeds up to the traffic lights past the pub. 1 Traffic too fast, too much, we no longer have a by-pass, in fact we never did with a 1 road from Penhale to Wadebridge and beyond, should have been blocked. Trefullock is used as a 'rat run' between Fraddon and Summercourt, endangering 1 children or animals. Huge lorries are using the lane constantly. Used to be a quiet village but now on weekends its more like 'Indianapolis' than Indian 1 Queens. Using the village as a shortcut rather than using the bypass eg St Columb to Fraddon 1 going through village rather than coming off at Mcdonalds and into village. Vast increase in heavy traffic and buses constantly through the village of Summercourt 1 for instance. Vehicles being driven far too fast on country lanes, very little attention paid to speed 1 limits through the villages. Very busy villages - hard to travel though due to amount of parked cars causing very 1 bad visibility. Very heavy plant using Higher Fraddon, this is a small road in places single track 1 which should not have such continual traffic, not safe for local children walking to school - there is no pavement! Volume of tractors. 1 Volume of traffic is rising, mainly linked with level of development that is going on. 1 Large lorries often come through the villages once its dark. We agree with what is said above in 2008. It is even worse now. 1

92

No of 1. Explain your concerns about the amount of Traffic responses We have cars and buses & trucks & tractors so all kinds of transport, but some cars 1 travel at speed and parking on the side of the road is bad we should have speed bumps not parked cars. We have lived in our current house for 12 years and the increase of traffic has been 1 noticeable. The speed has always been an issue with cars, tractors and buses, lorries flying up the road in excess of the speed limit, with peak "rush hours" being the worse times. We live down a narrow lane and if the caravan site goes ahead at Little Meadows 1 Harbour it will be unsafe for pedestrians, harmful to the environment and a danger for the proposed leisure development at the Kelliers. We live in Moorland Road. There are vehicles always parked near the mini roundabout, 1 some on the pavement. With the development of new houses adjacent to the roundab out set to commence shortly, there can only be more congestion on a busy road junction. We live in the road leading up to the top road containing the Bio Gas building presently 1 being built. Our narrow road causes problems for lorries and residents alike. The dust and noise is awful. When completed we will still suffer the same things even if they stick to 50 movements a day as this does not include our normal traffic or other deliveries and Roberts (Tarmac) lorries, dustmen, recycling, postmen, etc. What’s the point of the by-pass if you increase the housing and Kingsley Village and 1 bring it back again! When you live in a busy parish with nearly 5,000 inhabitants you must expect there to 1 be traffic!! Why have we not got a 20mph speed limit in Indian Queens and Fraddon especially by 1 Indian Queens School. With more development, more traffic inevitable. Roads not suitable for increase in 1 traffic and/or large vehicles. With more housing as it is at present and with extra children. The school building is 1 way behind (new classrooms). The infrastructure is failing to keep up. The need for more parking to be made available to ease on road parking. With too many houses, comes excessive parking on the roads. Some properties have 1 three or more cars. Traffic is increasing and getting faster. The road from Fraddon to St Columb Road is a JOY to speeders. Yes, it’s getting very dangerous. Most roads have traffic on one side makes it very 1 difficult to pass through. Yes, the cars park along the road from the roundabout to the post office. 1 Yes. Not so much the volume of traffic but the speed especially through the villages 1 late at night (boy racers).

One respondent gave the following general comment: “But: With all the cars parked on the roads how can you speed?”

If yes, please explain

Residents are concerned about the traffic speeding throughout St Enoder Parish.

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses Drive too fast/not keeping to speed limit. 15 Chapel Road. 3 Some people go too fast - especially because of parked cars in road. 3 The cars speed down through Fraddon. 3 They seem to fly up between Fraddon and Indian Queens. 3 It is used like a race track. 2 Moorland Road. 2 20mph should be implemented. No speed limit signs in evidence. 1 A lot of people aren't aware of the speed limit in the area and do excessive speeds 1 through the village which isn't necessary. A lot of speeding especially by the school and Queens Garage (at night). 1 A number of vehicles park on footway causing obstruction to pushchairs and mobility 1 scooters. Again there should traffic calming in the villages, as there is around the county. 1 Along Moorland Road there are lots more cars parked on the road/pavement, as the 1 traffic goes to fast along that stretch! As its 30mph cars and bikes go to fast. 1 As we are at the slip road people continue to travel at the same speed as on the A30. 1 Ther e are no road sign speed indicators to slow down, and no speed bumps to indicate a residential area ahead. VERY DANGEROUS!! PLEASE ADDRESS URGENTLY. As you approach roundabout next to Port and Starboard from Highgate, it horrendous. 1 The amount of near misses I've had is unreal, due to speed. At certain times we suffer from high-speeding vehicles in Chapel Town. 1 At night you can hear the racers bombing up and down by Hoopers. 1 At the mo, we have builders on our road but in summer on Higher Fraddon Road we 1 get a lot of quad bikes speeding up the road late at night.

95

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses At the top of Higher Fraddon, they approach the blind bend at ridiculous speeds I'm 1 surprised no-one’s been killed. Barton Lane has suffered a huge increase in traffic and as a result there are many 1 travelling too quickly and without sufficient ability to navigate the many hazards on the road. Farm machinery has damaged the banks alongside so that it has become much wider (re: faster). It is used as a 'rat run' by many from new housing nearby. Because the yellow lines are down one side of the road only, it is obvious that given the 1 chance cars will race to get through. Speed cameras that work and fines issued. Being used as a cut through. Motorbikes and cars/lorries driving. Far too fast. 1 Between Indian Queens garage towards Fraddon Post Office seem to the main place. 1 Buses, police cars, cars, etc. All speeed on 30mph road! 1 Bypass is very busy and cars travel down it far too fast, speeding controls should be put 1 in place. They have to break sharply at roundabout, speeding control needed before someone is seriously hurt / killed. Cars are seen speeding between Fraddon and St Columb Road. 1 Cars do speed through Summercourt as they come off the A30. 1 Cars go towards Co-op and round bend too fast and it’s dangerous. 1 Cars racing to beat oncoming traffic, also leaving St Francis Road entering Carworgie 1 Way Estate going much too fast. Cars regularly speed on the main road through Fraddon, especially once it goes dark. 1 Cars speed along Parka Road and due to parked cars go faster to get past. This is also 1 true along St Francis Road. Cars speed through St Columb Road and up Parka Hill. 1 Cars speed up & down St Francis Road, in the Drang motorbikes speed up & down as 1 they can take a short cut to Chapel Road. Cars tend to pick up speed when travelling from St Columb Road crossing towards St 1 Columb and also don't tend to slow down until they get to the crossroads when travelling the other way. Cars travelling far too quickly along the main road through Indian Queens, past the 1 school. Cars, lorries and agri-machines speed up as they cross the A30 bridge on the A3059. 1 No speed restrictions are in place. Chapel Road and Moorland Road. The road from Port and Starboard roundabout to the 1 one by Indian Queen Trading Estate on Moorland Road is a rat run with cars, tractors, lorries having no regard for speed limit. Only a matter of time before serious accident. Children walk to and from school, the park, shop s. There are no safe places to cross and 1 the speed of vehicles is a danger. Coming into St Columb Road from under railways bridge way too fast. Vision coming 1 out from St Columb Road crossroads being blocked by cars on road. Accident waiting to happen! Community/police enforcement required. 1 Congestion in Suncrest Estate at school time, particularly where it meets the Drang. 1 Dangerous to cross roads and pull out of your driveway. 1 Disregard of the speed limits. 30MPH means that, not 40/50MPH. 1 Do not adhere to speed limits unsafe for pedestrians/no pavements. 1 96

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses Drivers coming off the by-pass and continuing the same. Speed (instead of the required 1 '30') right through the village - including buses and there is a school on that route! Drivers go too fast up Chapel Road and speed up on Fraddon/St Francis Roads to pass 1 parked cars some other traffic calming need and double yellows needed. Drivers that do not adhere to the speed limit through village. 1 Dual carriageway/St Columb bypass gives us speeding - especially superbikes and 1 young car drivers - and considerable noise. Even local drivers in our hamlet cannot restrict themselves to 30mph, for the sake of 1/2 mile!! Volume of traffic in summer is considerable. Especially in streets re. children etc. 1 Especially near Indian Queens School when children are going to and from school. 1 Especially the large tractors. 1 Especially traffic leaving Queens on the old A30 past the Port and Starboard - never 1 slowing down at the mini roundabout at the bottom of Highgate Hill. Even bad parking doesn’t seem to slow them down. 1 Even though there is a 30mph speed limit I often see cars in excess of this speed past 1 our house. Evenings and night time. Odd people go through at high speeds. 1 Excessive speed in Barton Lane 1 Excessive speed of traffic through St Columb Road, could be reduced easily, with 1 chicanes at the ends of the village. Far TOO fast, nearly hitting hedge/wall at top of Higher Fraddon (photo included). 1 Far too fast. We need speed signs in the village. 1 For nearly twenty years we have had traffic breaking the speed limit through 1 Summercourt coming off the A30. Is there any point mentioning it again? Only when somebody is killed, will something be done. Former A30 in Indian Queens has no traffic calming measures. At night people drive 1 way over speed limit. Also parking restrictions are never enforced. Fraddon - straight road - traffic does not adhere to speed limit. 1 From St Columb Major to Indian Queens is getting bad with parked cars, even larger 1 vehicles. St Francis Road is an accident waiting, where bad drivers have no respect for others. Generally locals are very considerate, but visiting HGV's can be oblivious to speed 1 limits or road conditions (blind corners, road widths, etc). Go past our house at 60+ mph, not safe to do so. 1 Going too fast along Moorland Road. 1 Hearing late nice racing cars. 1 Heavy lorries still using village roads and youngmotor cyclists still not observing set 1 speed limits. Heavy vehicles travelling at speed down small lanes - they have been advised 20mph 1 but still rattle along crashing and banging. Houses have been built beyond speed limited areas. 1 I am concerned about the speed of the traffic as we live near the School. 1

97

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses I have a young daughter and walking her is scary when people don't abide by speed 1 limits. I live in Chapel Road, Fraddon. It's like living at Brands Hatch at times, it's a rat run, no 1 speed limit signs - no traffic calming measures in plavce an d absolutely no enforcement of speeding or parking. I live on Moorland Road and get a lot of speeding - why do we not have speed bumps. 1 I regularly see vehicles exceeding the speed limit on the roads locally whilst waiting 1 and/or driving myself. I would propose a 20mph speed limit for Higher Fraddon - PLEASE!! 1 If only people would obey the speed limits there would not be a problem. Lower the 1 speed limit on A3058 to 20mph. I'm against speed humps but if they were only placed at the entrances to the villages it 1 might slow traffic that otherwise wouldn't, also on street parking tends to speed passing traffic. In Summercourt, traffic entering the village from Fraddon direction often exceed the 1 speed limit. Increasingly drives are accelerating to pass parked vehicles and not pulling into spaces 1 to allow oncoming vehicles priority. It is becoming more and more difficult to cross the road now. 1 Large farm tractors etc with large trailers travelling too fast. 1 Little regard by drivers for pedestrians. Buses drive far too fast through the village. 1 Living along Moorland Road (the old A30) the trafic is really bad, but they seriously 1 exceed the speed limit as well which causes problems pulling out of drives etc. when cars are also parked on the roadways as they have not got sufficient parking with their NEW houses. Living near A30 slip road traffic seems quite fast coming off bypass. 1 Main road through Fraddon can be very fast especially as it’s the main road for young 1 children and families to walk to school. Mainly it is OK but I often find the road where the current Post Office is, ie Blue 1 Anchor Pub, I often see incidents of speeding as drivers seem to be at times ignorant of oncoming traffic. As there is a row of parked cars (no problem with that, people live there) & they don’t always give way to oncoming traffic causing people having to reverse etc to make way for them. I don’t think anything can be done to correct this as it is purely down to bad driving. Many of the employees and contractors supplying the construction site and pig farm 1 seem to speed regularly. Many people appear to be amenable and considerate but unfortunately there are still a 1 few idiots around. Maybe a speed limit of 20mph. Someone has already lost a cat how long before its 1 someone’s child or grandchild. McDonalds overflow car park, racing through village. 1 Moorland Road - Chapel Road. Cars seems to try their hardest to go as fast as they can. 1 Moorland Road from roundabout towards owl sanctua ry has become a rat run, although 1 a speed limit of 30mph this is not adhered to and is becoming "a dangerous" road.

98

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses Most drivers are sensible but some go too fast. In Fraddon the parked cars do help slow 1 things down. Motor bikes racing through, and other vehicles. Maybe speed camera or bumps would 1 discourage. Motorcycles, cars, buses, delivery bans and HGVs all ignore the speed limits - they're 1 in a hurry and they don't care. Motorists ignore speed limits on the main roads and drive too fast on estate roads. 1 Narrow lane needs quiet lane status to stop cut through speed hounds. Saw excellent 1 speed awareness indicators with positive reinforcement ie good journey. Well done. Narrow roads, parked cars excessive speeds, all a recipe for accidents. 1 Need to drive fast around parked cars as they park in such a long stretch - hard to drive 1 safely as oncoming cars speed towards you. No regard for speed limits especially around Fraddon Post Office. We have to reverse 1 into our drive. It takes 4 seconds for cars to reach us at speed round the post office corner. An accident waiting to happen, with the added problem of parked cars along the road. No safe crossing with children with Pocohontas Estate to Drang to go to school. 1 No 'SLOW' marking repainted in last 10 years - not visible to anyone. More speed signs 1 needed. No speed limits through Fraddon. Some traffic in excess of 50mph. 1 No thought shown to householders. High speed rat-run (morning to night!!) 1 No visual policing, constitutes speed. 1 Not concerned about the volume but speed can be an issue and people park on 1 pavements making it hard to pass with a pram. Not enough people obeying the speed limit. 1 Not just amount but speed of traffic especially buses and HGVs. There should be more 1 cycle/horse riding routes around the parish (please?!). Often difficult to get onto Halloon roundabout due to density of high speed traffic 1 travelling towards A30. Also, vehicles travelling through Trevarren often fail to observe the 30mph speed limit and there are no pavements for pedestrians. Parka Road speed limit it 30 - most cars going faster. 1 Parked cars cause people to speed if clear road ie no oncoming vehicles. 1 Pavements along the main road through Fraddon are very narrow and cars often drive 1 past faster than 30mph. Worried about kids on bikes/scooters etc. Penhale Lane - there are signs to reduce speed, but very few seem to be able to read. 1 People drive too fast past the school. 1 People leave the A30 and continue at high speeds. 1 People often drive fast through residential areas. 1 People simply do not believe they are going to be caught and as we never see the police 1 this does not help. People speeding down the main Fraddon Road especially past the parked cars. 1 People wheel spin out of Queens Garage and probably go about 50 on Chapel Road. 1

99

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses Probably not so much the amount of traffic, more about the speed. I live in a 30mph 1 area and traffic often speeds up there at 50+ mph. I think traffic calming should be put in place to slow them down (Parka Road). Racing the traffic lights. 1 Really fast outside Band Room, near the school. 1 Ridgewell Terrace. 1 Road at top of Barton Lane often has cars speeding. 1 Roads are quite narrow. 1 Roads within the villages are not wide enough for speeding traffic. 1 Safety for pedestrians. 1 Safety of people especially the young ones. 1 Saturday and Sunday boy racers on motorbikes and cars delight in max speed within 1 100 yards of start. Perhaps police presence and fines would help. School Road is like a race track. Bus, lorries and cars go too fast. 1 Some cars really go fast down St Francis Road, and the kids have to cross to get to the 1 Rec. Pelican crossing could help. Some car's speed near the school, I think speed bumps should be added. 1 Some drivers think the road between St Margaret’s roundabout and the main 1 roundabout is a race track. Some people do go too fast, a great concern with children. 1 Someone will get hurt or killed. 1 Sometimes it's difficult to cross the road. Not very nice for OAPs. 1 Sometimes traffic through Fraddon and Indian Queens is speeding and due to parked 1 cars this can be very hazardous. Sometimes, yes as a pedestrian. Lots of children and pets. It would be good to have a 1 flashing reminder of speed limit. Speed bumps cost hardly anything and although annoying are better than cars driving at 1 70mph on New Road. We have a car smash into our garden this year, but nothing has been done. Speed cameras/bumps would hopefully slow cars down outside my house. 1 Speed is an issue in lots of small communities. More so with the number of cyclists in 1 the area. Speed limit is hardly ever followed. 1 Speed limits are correct if adhered too. 1 Speed limits don't seem to apply to the majority of drivers in the Queens Cemetery 1 area. Speed limits need to be enforced more successfully. We hardly ever see 'speed cameras' 1 in the villages. Moorland Road by Indian Queens cemetery is particularly bad. We are 'tail-gated' and overtaken frequently. Speed limits through Fraddon, St Columb Road and Indian Queens are ignored by most 1 drivers. WORKING speed cameras should be used at each end of each village. Speed of traffic outside Fraddon Post Office is dangerously high - cameras should be 1 used as a deterrent. Speed on Chapel Road. 1

100

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses Speed restrictions and weight limits should apply. 1 Speed through St Columb Road is sometimes shocking. 1 Speeding along New Road, Summercourt. 1 Speeding cars and motorbikes in St Francis Road and Moorland Road (around cemetery 1 area). Speeding motorist through local areas. The volume of LGV traffic. The volume of 1 agricultural vehicles using the roads as a short cut, particularly vehicles from Grampound Road area! Speeding on old A30 regularly and nothing in place (ie warning signs) to remind of 1 30mph limit. Speeding through Fraddon village particularly in the early hours and on the Kingsley 1 Court development. Speeding through Summercourt, particularly from Brighton Cross area and negotiating 1 corner - in direction of Truro! Speeding through the villages. Mopeds and small bikes seem to use the village as a race 1 track. St Columb Road end of St Francis Road. Drivers do not keep to the speed limit. 1 St Francis Road is in danger of somebody losing their life, since 2008 nothing has 1 changed, let’s not let a death or serious RTA be the time to respond. St Francis Road needs speed bumps to slow traffic. 1 St Francis Road traffic starts at 6am - constant till 9am; large LGVs, coaches/buses; 1 speeding traffic. Restarts 3pm till very late pm. Calming measures desperately needed. St Francis Road. Children crossing the road to go to the playing field and school. 1 St Francis Road. Speeding on this road is prevalent and should be rigorously. Enforced 1 before a serious accident ensues. St Francis Road/St Columb Road at times cars/bikes speed from Co-op corner up 1 through St Francis Road. The amount of traffic is ok, however I think the village does need some more speed 1 bumps. And the parking on 'Queens Garage' is dangerous that needs to be addressed. When walking my children past it daily to school, it is frightening. The boy racers drive far too fast, when there are kids around and people working on the 1 pavements. The de-restricted zone (Parka Road) should be incorporated into the 30mph zone and it 1 needs some traffic calming devices. The old A30 can be used as a 'race track' by youngsters in the evening travelling far too 1 fast. The old A30 is a race track. Need speed bumps right down through it, it is an accident 1 waiting to happen. The police are the problem they drive much too fast through Fraddon. 1 The road passing the Blue Anchor is dotted with parked cars. People speed through 1 dodging in and out. The speed limit is much too high it should be reduced to 30mph. 1 The speed of some traffic along Newquay Road is outrageous, it is only a matter of 1 time before there is a serious accident, a fatality is waiting to happen.

101

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses The speed of traffic coming into Summercourt from Newquay given us great concern. 1 We would like to see some method of speed reduction before the 30mph speed limit in and out of the village - an accident is waiting to happen!! The speed of traffic up/down St Austell Street, given that there are areas such with no 1 pedestrian pathway is dangerous. The speed some cars use and motorbikes from the post office to Mylords Road. 1 The traffic moves too fast up from Halloon roundabout through St Columb Road. 1 There are many sensible drivers, but some do not reduce speed where common sense 1 demands. I have been overtaken ON the Port and Starboard roundabout! There are slow signs as you approach our row of houses but these are largely ignored, 1 with the field entrance opposite and cars pulling away this is very dangerous. There doesn’t seem to be many 30mph signs around - no traffic calming ie sleeping 1 policemen, etc. There has always been a problem, boys racing around 'the circuit' but the cars parked 1 does keep speed down. There have been many accidents at Gummows Shop crossroads. Cars/vehicles speed 1 along the road at an alarming rate. We have children and pets. What it needs is a speeding camera. The amount of fines generated would be outstanding! There is a lot of through traffic in the villages. Traffic control should be installed. 1 20mph should be introduced as speeding is a problem - especially in Fraddon. There is, I think, only a 30mph sign near Kingsley Village and no more until the end of 1 Indian Queens. Every other village has reminders and flashing automated signs. Tractors go past VERY FAST! This is the only place I have ever seen cars going the wrong way round a roundabout! There seems be little regard for any form speed limit in Higher Fraddon. Cars/lorries 1 speed up and down it on a daily basis. There should be a strict 20-30mph limit in all the villages. 1 They do not keep to the 30mph speed limit on old A30 and Toldish Lane. 1 They don't take any notice of the speed restriction signs, and drive too fast. 1 They exceed the 30mph speed limit and parked cars obstruct coming out of junctions 1 and our residential estate. They also use as short cuts and very fast and heavy traffic flow. They tend to use the road outside our property as a racetrack. The speed limit is 30mph 1 but few adhere to this. Throughout the day and night the level of noise created by traffic is unbearable on the 1 A3058 running through Summercourt. There is excessive speeding HGVs and buses all day long, tractors/trailers you name it, it goes up and down our street. Horrendous and dangerous road for elderly people/children and adults to cross. Traffic calming is urgently needed for this road. Toldish Lane is badly potholed and edges overgrown. Cornwall Council has not 1 trimmed edges for 4 years. Too fast across Parka Road and St Columb Road. 1 Too fast along old A30. 1 Too fast. Drivers on phones all the time. 1

102

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses Too many cars parked outside their homes instead of in their drives. One reason I gave 1 up driving. Too many parked cars on the roads to drive fast! 1 Too many young people in cars and on scooters going too fast with no regard for 1 pedestrians. Too much heavy vehicles using the road through Fraddon. 1 Too much parking on some roads where passing can be dangerous. 1 Total disregard for speed limits in area. Need traffic calming on Chapel Road, Parka 1 Road, St Francis Road. Tractors/LGVs speed through Fraddon regularly and 'boy racers' who are drawn to 24 1 hr McDonalds. Traffic - particularly through traffic far too fast. We are en couraging children to walk to 1 school but it is dangerous in many places for children and their parents/carers to cross the road due to the volume & speed of traffic. Traffic along the roads of Summercourt are normally passing through i.e. Newquay 1 St Austell and travel at high speeds. Traffic calming especially at St Margaret roundabout. Large tractors and trailors going 1 at speed. Cars speeding don’t slow at roundabout at St Margarets. Traffic calming would be a way of slowing people down - speed humps for example. 1 Traffic coming off the Summercourt bypass west bound on to the old A30 up past the 1 school and into the village traffic, far in excess of speed limit. Traffic does not keep to speed limits just (totally ignored) in St Columb Road area. 1 Traffic doesn’t stick to 30mph, which puts people’s lives in danger, especially children 1 using the school and play park. Traffic passes our area at high speeds (on the old A30) as speed limits are still high. 1 Traffic passing A3058 often exceeds speed limit. 1 Traffic too fast along Beacon Road, speed restrictions ignored. 1 Traffic travelling too fast from Queens Garage going out the Moor. There are children 1 using this road going to and from school. Vehicles exceed 70 on main road and high speed on Pedna Carne Hill. 1 Vehicles excessively speeding at all hours of day/night. Very little in terms of traffic 1 calming/speed deterrents. High risk to public - especially school children. Vehicles speeding through Summercourt on School Road and irresponsible parking 1 along Beacon Road. Vehicles use the lane through Trefullock without care or concern for children and 1 animals. It is a 'rat run' and people visiting the scrapyard are very inconsiderate. Very concerned about children being driven to Summercourt School using Narrow 1 Lane as a cut through from Fraddon - parents driving FAR too quickly. Very fast speeds down Fraddon Hill and general 'old A30' area - straightness of road 1 encourages the speed and very little to break speeds. 'Boy racers' seem to be increasing in number and very fast motorbikes. Very few drivers seem to show down on the approaches to the various roundabouts in 1 the area, and look to drive straight through without shopping to look. We are a tiny, long, winding lane. Some people drive too fast. 1

103

No of 2. Explain your concerns about speed of Traffic responses We are very concerned at the speed of traffic through Summercourt. I have voiced this 1 at the Parish Council, as yet no action!! We could use some more speed reducing signs etc especially on the roads on housing 1 estates, and near the school. We have a 30 mile sign on our road and it doesn’t work, the speed of some of them is 1 ridiculous. We have a 50mph speed limit which is only followed by a few drivers. 1 We have cars that speed past our home on Fraddon Hill, then slam on the brakes going 1 down the hill. We live at Blue Anchor and most nights we sit and hear cars and bikes race through the 1 village. We live in a 30mph limit with no speed signs between roundabout at post office all the 1 way to next roundabout. We need a temporary on/off 20mph outside the school and the enforcement of the 1 existing 30mph limit. We need traffic calming as people drive too fast in built up areas. 1 We should have more monitoring of speed particularly on those leaving the villages. 1 We walk to school and some of the drivers gang up there are at major risk of causing an 1 accident. Its sometimes quite scary when you see kids walking up without their parents. When I moved to Chapel Town there was no speed limit. When the 40MPH was 1 introduced I queried how it would be enforced. It wasn't. Very few drivers observed 40MPH. When the speed limit was reduced to 30MPH I thought this was a waste of public money, very few drivers observe the speed limit - even the buses ignore it on occasion. Don't make rules you can't enforce. When I walk to work and walk home people do not stick to the 30MPH from the Port & 1 Starboard to Indian Queens. When leaving our property it is very dangerous caused by speed of vehicles coming 1 round the bends especially motorbikes and lorries. With too many houses, comes excessive parking on the roads. Some properties have 1 three or more cars. Traffic is increasing and getting faster. The road from Fraddon to St Columb Road is a JOY to speeders. Yes, says it all. Surely a police matter. 1 Yes, there should be speed limits on on A3075 Newquay/St Austell Road. 1 Yes. Not so much the volume of traffic but the speed especially through the villages 1 late at night (boy racers). Particularly when travelling to and from McDonalds. Young drivers are not heeding the speed limit signs. There are lots of young children 1 and domestic and wild animals around. The drivers should take note. Young lads use St Francis Road like a race track; bikes are a blur going past my house. 1 Youngsters do drive way too fast along the bridge (Moorland Road) and this is a main 1 road which a lot of children walk along to school.

At crossroads between St Francis Road and Parka Road - obscures views when at junction at bottom of St Francis Road. 105

No of 3 Locations where on-street parking of cars is a road safety issue responses 1) Penhale roundabout to St Margarets roundabout. 2) Below the Post Office. Both 1 cause bottlenecks. All around the area but it is impossible to park any where else in many cases. 1 All main roads in the villages, but not everyone has off road parking available, but 1 that's no excuse to not park sensibly and legally. All roads. Co-op corner one nasty place. Also someone parks at bottom of Highgate 1 very near mini roundabout quite dangerous. Along Moorland Road in particular. Parking restricts views out of junctions. 1 Areas near bus stops. 1 Around the chip shop/Chineses and Co-op in Indian Queens and St Columb Road. 1 Around The Drang at school drop off and pick up times. 1 At crossroads by St Francis Road. 1 At the exit from Barton Lane onto the main road at Fraddon. Very difficult to see 1 oncoming traffic from both ways due to parked vehicles. At the school. 1 Beacon Road is a problem mainly because of the curve in the road makes it hard to see. 1 How about an area of no parking opposite bus shelter. Beacon Road, Summercourt. Coming off the eastbound exit slip of the A30 into 1 Summercourt visibility is restricted and you cannot see vehicles travelling towards Newquay. Beaconside/Beacon Road causes problems. 1 Because when parked on street you can’t always see and its dangerous. 1 Between A30 slip and traffic lights at Summercourt. Mitchell, area near Four Winds 1 Garage. Between Barton Lane turning and Post Office. 1 Between Blue Anchor and island near Post Office. 1 Blocks when driving when blocking junctions. More vehicles parked on roads. 1 Blue Anchor road. 1 Blue Anchor to Fraddon Post Office. 1 Bottom of Fraddon Hill to Blue Anchor. 1 But there is nowhere else for them to park, but what can you do drivers on the road 1 increase every year on year. But where else can they park? 1 By Co-op and further up this road. 1 By Post Office to Kingsley Village and road by the Spar. 1 Can only speak for my area as more families have more than one car, parking spaces 1 are difficult. Cars parked fully on pavement outside Queens Garage. Parents cars blocking pavement 1 opposite Wesley Pre-School in St Francis Road - twice a day during term. Centre of village. 1 Chapel Road, Parka Road, old A30 past Post Office to Blue Anchor, DPD Ban that 1 parks up from Co-op and cars outside Co-op make it difficult to get through. Co-op corner, Moorland Road, Penhale to Fraddon Roundabout. 1

106

No of 3 Locations where on-street parking of cars is a road safety issue responses Co-op shop. Queens Garage, Fraddon Post office. Former A30 in Indian Queens has no 1 traffic calming meaures. At night people drive way over speed limit. Also parking restrictions are never enforced. Co-op, old A30, Fraddon, Parka Road at St Columb Road end. 1 Co-op, Port & Starboard, Chinese restaurant/takeaway. Near junctions between 1 Fraddon post office and Blue Anchor. Entry to St Columb Road from Fraddon - e.g. AJs to Queen & Railway. Creates road rage when there is so much traffic from both sides unable to get through 1 due to parked vehicles - drivers taking chances and unnecessary risks. Cross roads at St Columb Road and outside the Co-op. 1 Especially at Fraddon - impatient drivers not willing to wait for oncoming traffic. 1 Especially in Fraddon from Kingsley Village to Port and Starboard. 1 Every owner of a motor vehicle should have on off road parking space. 1 Fairview Park, by the doctors surgery. 1 Fairview Park. 1 Fraddon - especially when there is owner parking available. Buildings up in St Francis 1 Road. Fraddon - Post Office to the 'Blue Anchor'. St Columb Road - Fairview Park. 'Doctors 1 Surgery'. St Columb Road - Paka Road to Queen and Railway.

Fraddon is ridiculous!! Top of Indian Queens can get quite bad and so can St Francis 1 Road. Fraddon main road. Kingsley Court, Fraddon. Roads are made for driving on NOT for 1 parking on. Fraddon Main Street (old A30) from Port and Starboard thru to Kingsley Village. 1 Fraddon main street and bottom of Fairview Park by doctors and all the way up St 1 Francis Road.

Higher Fraddons Lane. 1 Generally a very friendly give and take system applies, usually with waved 1 acknowledgement. However, there are always one or two inconsiderates. Going down Fraddon, road from Port & Starboard to St Columb Road, outside Co-op, 1 top of Fraddon Hill. Hanover Parc, Old A30 Fraddon end. 1 Higher Fraddon - there aren't even any footpaths - Fraddon - all the cars on the road. 1 Higher Fraddon (especially in conjunction with speeding cars). 1 Higher Fraddon Lane. 1 Houses approaching Post Office, parking on yellow lines and bus stop. 1 I travel on buses frequently cars parked on roads are a hazard. 1 If on street parking is necessary it should be controlled in small designated 1 areas/sections. In Fraddon, Chapel Road northbound from Blue Anchor to mini roundabout and Parka 1 Road southbound from St Francis Road junction to AJ's Eats n Treats. Parka Road northbound from Queen and Railway to Station Yard entrance. In places as there is not enough places to pull into. 1 Indian Queens through to Fraddon. 1 Ironically it probably helps slow traffic down as much as it could be potentially 1 dangerous too! It can be a problem - on the other hand it slows people down. Beaconside, St Austell 1 Street near traffic lights. It can be difficult at times on the main road leading to Fraddon Post Office. 1 It can be especially during busy times. 1 It holds up traffic and causes delays makes it harder for pedestrians. 1 It makes it hard to see to cross/pull out. 1 It’s a bit of a pain, however probably helps to slow traffic. 1 It's an issue all the time that nothing is done about speed (Mylords Road - Post Office). 1 Its not but not everyone has a garage so there is no option but to park on street. This 1 should not be an issue as there are pull in spaces. It's the only traffic calming solution we have. 1 Just on the roads below the post office and St Columb Road is also bad. 1 Keeps the speed down. 1 Kingsley Court and Fraddon main street. 1

108

No of 3 Locations where on-street parking of cars is a road safety issue responses Kingsley Court, Chapel Road, Mylord's Road-St Francis Road. There are times when I 1 believe access for fire engines, ambulances would be impossible due to the total lack of consideration for other people. Kingsley Court, Fraddon. 1 Lots of places but particularly at the top of Barton Lane. Have notified police on a 1 number of occasions. Main road through Fraddon (St Margarets to Fraddon Post Office). St Columb Road 1 (Pads and Paws to junction at Port and Starboard). Main roads through Fraddon and St Columb Road. 1 Melrose Terrace, Parka Road, Venetian View. 1 Near mini roundabout by Port and Starboard. 1 Near the post office. 1 Near traffic lights in St Austell Street, Summercourt outside houses near Fraddon 1 Village Hall and between Kingsley Village roundabout & Fraddon Village Hall. Newquay Road, Parka Road, Chapel Road, St Francis Road around Indian Queens and 1 Summercourt Schools. Not a safety issue but annoying in some areas. However the houses were never built to 1 allow cars. (Central Summercourt up from the shop). Not enough thought in parking areas when new houses built. Garages should be bigger 1 to fit a large car. Some can only fit a mini. Old A30 near the Toldish Lane junction. 1 Old A30. 1 Old John Julian site, have to walk out into road with dog when passing. 1 On street is better than 1/2 on path. Reorganise yellow lines. 1 On street parking helps to keep traffic speed down. 1 On street parking on long Co-op road - half of houses have unused driveways! 1 On the road down from Fraddon Post office and St Francis Road. 1 Only because some drivers are inconsiderate and impatient. I'm not sure where else 1 people would park. Only have concerns as the vehicles go so fast without thinking that children/people live 1 along this road. Only on certain areas. 1 Only problem area is from crossroads via Newquay opposite bus stop, that is a problem 1 area. Only when the parents are picking-up children at Summercourt School. 1 Opposite Co-op, St Francis Road, junction Port & Starboard/Chinese/Moorland Road, 1 school at times. Opposite council houses on A3058 leading up to the traffic lights. All those houses 1 have unused garages.

Parka Hill 1 Parka Road (double parking!), Fraddon Road. 1 Parked cars create traffic calming. 1 Parking along Fraddon is dangerous. 1 Parking on the corner of the Co-op is a danger (St Francis Road). 1 Parking very close to traffic lights will cause an accident - logic needs to be in place. 1 Particularly driving school drop off and pick up - cars parked on the pavement, at the 1 top of The Drang. Particularly Fraddon Main Street. 1 Penhale through Fraddon. St Columb Road outside the Co-op. 1 People have off road parking or rear parking, why don’t they use it. 1 People ignore parking restrictions - double yellow lines, etc. HGVs delivering to Co-op 1 at St Columb Road park on bus stops area!! Nice! People still park on the bend near the Co-op, where there were double yellow lines. 1 Their unresponsible parking is wearing away the lines, as well as being dangerous to approaching traffic. People park on pavements making it hard to pass with a pram. 1 Post Office - Kingsley Village Road. 1 Post Office road. 1 Princess Parc/Chapel Road at school times especially road from Post Office to Blue 1 Anchor.

The old A30 from Queens - Fraddon. 1 The old A30. Stop and starting also causes a lot of pollution. 1 The parking for Goss Moor Tea Rooms on the road is irritating and causes access 1 problems for local houses.

Unnamed road leading to Higher Fraddon. 1 Vehicles speeding through Summercourt on School Road and irresponsible parking 1 along Beacon Road. Village hall auctions are my only parking problems, they park on pavements. 1 We live in Moorl and Road. There are vehicles always parked near the mini roundabout, 1 some on the pavement. With the development of new houses adjacent to the roundabout set to commence shortly, there can only be more congestion on a busy road junction. When the old A30 was in use the cars were parked behind the houses, causing freedom 1 of movement. It causes road rage. Where Fraddon Post Office is down to the McDonalds roundabout. 1 With adequate speed restrictions this can be nullified. 1 Yes in certain locations - outside Co-op and at junction of Queen and Railway and out 1 to Newquay Road - but in other places this does help limit speeding eg through Fraddon and St Francis Road.

No of 6. Dangerous for either pedestrians or motorists responses No. 18 St Francis Road. 15 Fraddon. 11 Co-op. 8 St Columb Road. 6 Fraddon main road. 5 All areas. 2 Chapel Road. 2 Higher Fraddon. 2 New Road. 2 Parka Road. 2 1) By Queens Garage - cars park everywhere, don't wait for the children to cross - need 1 speed bumps along that stretch of road. 2) St Columb Road (by surgery) - cars parked along there are hard to pass and needs speed bumps. 3) Fraddon (Blue Anchor - Post Office) - cars parked along there are hard to pass and needs speed bumps. 1. Fraddon Hill between Post Office and Blue Anchor. 2. St Francis Road. 3. Moorland 1 Road at junction with Toldish Lane. A zebra crossing by the entrance to Co-op car park. 1 A392 has no footpaths and vehicles speed too much. Pedestrians take their life in their 1 hands. A392 is not wide enough for two large vehicles to pass. 1 Action needed on the roundabout at Highgate Hill - traffic coming up the dual carriage 1 way from Newquay regularly cuts cars up going into Indian Queens. Especially traffic leaving Queens on the old A30 pas the Port and Starboard - never slowing down at the mini roundabout at the bottom of Highgate Hill. Adjacent to Co-op and the Queen and Railway in St Columb Road. 1 All over the parish - Francis Road, Penhale down through Fraddon. 1 Along Moorland Road there are lots more cars parked on the road/pavement, as the 1 traffic goes too fast along that stretch! Areas where on street parking is used. 1 Around Kingsley Village and McDonalds can be mental. 1 Around the winter time the park near the Pit gets covered in mud and you can't walk 1 through it, you need walking boots or wellies, not ideal when you walk every day to school. It needs a concrete path right through it. At Queens Garage and around Post Office. 1 At the exit from Barton Lane onto the main road at Fraddon. Very difficult to see 1 oncoming traffic from both ways due to parked vehicles.

114

Back of Co-op, St Columb Road. 1 Beacon Road and St Austell Street, Summercourt. The road by the Shell Garage in 1 Fraddon. It is virtually impossible to see to cross this road for a lot of its length. A zebra or pelican crossing would be very beneficial. Beacon Road for motorists.

Doctors surgery at St Columb Road has limited parking. 1 Dual carriageway from A30 down to St Columb / Newquay /Wadebridge roundabout. 1 Entrance to Hanover Parc - parking on junction. Old A30 - too many cars parked. St 1 Francis Road - too many cars parked especially Co-op area. Entrance to Kingsley Village from B3275 traffic emerging in front of village bound 1 traffic, needs a lane added nearside from A30 slip to services entrance. Everywhere around Indian Queens and Fraddon. 1 Everywhere if the cars are speeding. 1 Exit from Pencorse Lane onto A2058. Exit from A30 slip at Highgate junction (no view 1 of traffic westbound). Fairview Park junction and Blue Anchor. 1 For pedestrians - crossing the road at the junction of St Francis Road to Morland Road 1 (opposite Port and Starboard).

Kingsley Court - on the bend into the estate parking causes problems as to exit the 1 estate you have to use be on the wrong side of the road, the road through Fraddon village. Large lorries driving through Fraddon village on pavements. 1 Lots because there are lots of roads without paths. 1 Main road through Fraddon (from St James View to post office). 1 Main roads through Fraddon and St Columb Road. 1 Many - particularly 1.

Dangerous for either pedestrians or motorists responses Near traffic lights in St Austell Street, Summercourt outside houses near Fraddon 1 Village Hall and between Kingsley village roundabout and Fraddon Village Hall. Newer housing estates only tend to have one car parking space per house, which causes 1 problems with parking. Newquay Road coming up to St Columb Road cars parked on the bend. 1 Newquay Road, Parka Road, St Georges Road. 1 Newquay Road. 1 No - as long as people obey the countryside code of walking facing oncoming traffic. 1 They shouldn't have a problem. Not enough parking. Therefore cars are parking on the roads causing potential hazards 1 particularly in Fraddon and St Francis Road. Old A30 - by Queens Garage, parking on pavement; the Drang and Suncrest, very 1 narrow bit of road around to the School; Queen and Railway junction - cars have started parking night on the junction, obscuring view toward St Columb Major; and the two vans always parked just down from Queen and Railway. Old A30 (Moorland Road) needs speed bumps right down through. The crossing at T- 1 junction opposite Port & Starboard needs a zebra crossing. You take your children’s life in your hands crossing over there. Old A30. 1 On the way up to Indian Queens School where pedestrians cross the road, leading to 1 Suncrest Estate. Opposite Victory Hall. 1 Outside Blue Anchor. St Columb Road approach from Fraddon by AJ's Eats and Treats. 1 Outside Co-op, lot of pavement parking. 1 Outside Port and Starboard and the Chinese restaurant. 1 Outside St Columb Road Co-op and Pads and Paws leading around to the back of the 1 Co-op. Outside Summercourt School at drop off/pick up times. I have seen people 'parked' in 1 the bus stop and on zig-zag lines. I have contacted the School before and they do tell parents but I think they should have a designated off road drop off zone. Parka Road (speeding traffic). 1 Parka Hill - speed of vehicles. 1 Parka Road near doctors surgery cars parked on pavements. 1 Parking outside co-op when cars park on double yellow lines. 1 Pavement by Queens Garage which often has customers obstructing access/visibility 1 with particular emphasis on children safety. Pavement down to small island near McDonalds (Fraddon Road) too thin. 1 Pavements. Barton Lane no pavements especially as there us development on a certain 1 farm which brings in large vehicles. Pedestrian access to Indian Queens from Gaverigan is almost barred - to cross the A30 1 roundabout and then up the northbound slip road, plus no footpath in grass and uneven ground. Pedestrians - Newquay Road - no pavement. Motorists entrance to Port and Starboard 1 and Chinese, people just pull up and out without looking. Pedestrians crossing dual carriageway at the bottom (Halloon traffic island). 1 118

No of 6. Dangerous for either pedestrians or motorists responses Pedestrians: Queens Garage: no clear line between pavement and garage, cars parked 1 everywhere. People still park on the bend near the Co-op, where there were double yellow lines. 1 Their unresponsible parking is wearing away the lines, as well as being dangerous to approaching traffic. Port and Starboard to St Columb Road. Parking poorly can lead to prams unable to fit 1 on the rest of the pavement! Post Office at Fraddon to Kingsley Village. 1 Post Office to Blue Anchor Road. Its dangerous for pedestrians crossing with no real 1 safe place due to cars parked. Probably by Indian Queens school little bit open and people do get a little speedy on 1 that road. Queens and Railway crossroads, outside New Garden Chinese. 1 Queens Garage - parking on the pavements. Fraddon Village - no zebra crossings for 1 children so a big risk of children running out behind parked cars. Queens Garage parking on the pavement. St Columb Road parking outside hairdressers. 1 Bypass traffic from Newquay too fast onto roundabout. Queens Corner parking on pavement cannot see up Chapel Road. Right through village no notice taken of yellow lines. 1 Road by Co-op the bend is dangerous (and parked cars) and cars go too fast past there. 1 Road leading up to the post office, cars parked on the road. 1 Road to Co-op. Post Office road. 1 Roads mentioned as before (i.e. St Francis Road, Parka Road, Fraddon Road), also 1 crossroads at bottom of St Francis Road due to lack of vision along Parka Road. School area, St Francis Road, Fraddon. 1 School Road near school at school times. St Francis Road. Beacon Road. 1 Seaview Terrace - vehicles are advised that there is no walkaway. It’s too slow but they 1 come along at very high speeds ignoring the signs. Speed cameras or radar speed sites. 1 St Austell Road Summercourt Road to Atlantic Reach. 1 St Austell Street - for pedestrians, due to the speed of the traffic coming from direction 1 of Brighton Cross. St Austell Street - sections of which are without a footpath. 1 St Austell Street is dangerous for pedestrians. Also Beacon Road is difficult for 1 motorists to negotiate when residents park nose to tail for length of houses. St Austell Street, Beacon Road. 1 St Austell Street, Summercourt - NO FOOTPATH FOR PEDESTRIANS and heavy 1 traffic flow all year round, plus the annual fair traffic. A very busy road. St Austell Street. No pavements/safe places to cross/unsafe to leave car in road. 1 St Columb Road - cars coming from under railway bridge often go fast towards 1 Fraddon. St Columb Road - Indian Queens. Fraddon. Doctors surgery. 1 St Columb Road - speed. Fraddon - parked cars. Chip cars at St Columb Road - park 1 further back the road so that lorries using Victoria Gardens can turn in easier.

No of 6. Dangerous for either pedestrians or motorists responses St Columb Road from Post Office to the surgery, Fraddon from Post Office to Penhale. 1 St Columb Road outside my property there has beena number of accidents mainly 1 concerning parked vehicles and speed along St Columb Road/Fraddon/Parka Hill. St Columb Road, bus stop opposite all parked cars! Bus layby is absolutely necessary. 1 St Columb Road, Station Approach. The fish and chip shop vans (excessive amount of 1 vehicles for one property) causes havoc for entering station approach sometimes. St Francis Road - Co-op to Queen and Railway Pub. Port and Starboard restaurant 1 entrance and St Francis Road junction. Is particularly hazardous. When restaurant open in winter and rain. St Francis Road (outside Co-op), St Columb Road towards doctors. 1 St Francis Road and also entering Carworgie Way Estate. 1 St Francis Road due to speed of vehicles and obstruction of parked vehicles. 1 St Francis Road has too many parked vehicles for such a busy and narrow road. 1 St Francis Road, cars coming down the Drang joining St Francis Road, also school 1 children come to join St Francis Road. St Francis Road, Fraddon and Moorland Road out by Gnome World. Cars driven with 1 great speed up Moorland Road. St Francis Road, Fraddon, Parka Road, The Drang - emergency services would struggle 1 to get to Suncrest Estate on Monday nights and struggle to get by cars parked on roads with other vehicle having no where to pull into. St Francis Road, it’s a nightmare trying to cross the road between cars. 1 St Francis Road, Port and Starboard to village hall blind bend. 1 St Francis Road. Busy pedestrian route, especially at school times. 1 St Margarets roundabout. Traffic coming down through Fraddon tend to ignore the 1 priority of traffic turining right into My Lords Road. I have experienced this many times. Stamps Hill - rubbish and drugs. 1 Summercourt A3058 approach from Gummows Shop. Summercourt - St Stephen road 1 impossible for pedestrians dangerous for bikes. Summercourt Crossroads, an accident waiting to happen! There is a moment if all 1 directions have cars of 4 SECONDS to cross the road. Summercourt school - the 30mph limit needs to be instigated much closer to where 1 traffic flies off the A30 (look at Mitchell pull-off as an example). Staging the speed reduction eg 50mph then 40mph then 30mph would also help. Summercourt School A30 junction is very tight. 1 Summercourt to Brighton Cross - death trap. 1 Summercourt traffic lights - high number of vehicles at high speed with limited 1 visibility. Outside the Co-op at St Columb Road due to cars parked on the bend. Summercourt Village crossroads. We use it every day to go to school. Zebra crossings 1 are required. Summercourt, School Road (lorries still doing 50mph when they pass St Thomas 1 Playing Field) and the crossing the road at the traffic lights to get to the shop. Suncrest Estate/Ocean View. Too many cars of school children/parents blocking 1 residents. The exit onto A30 at Summercourt westbound needs a slip road. 1 120

No of 6. Dangerous for either pedestrians or motorists responses The footpaths and hedgerows are becoming overgrown causing the narrowing of the 1 footpath in the lower part of Fraddon. The junction of St Francis Road and Clodan Mews. Cars parking in front of Co-op, by 1 bus stop and in front of Pads and Paws. Also along road going to Co-op car park. Unable to see cars coming up or down St Francis Road when trying to come out of Clodan Mews. The junction to get on A30 eastbound at Summercourt. The grass/hedges here get too 1 high to make a safe and easy exit towards Summercourt. The A3058 should have speed cameras. The main thoroughfare from Fraddon/Indian Queens, people don't adhere to the speed 1 limits. The mini island by Fraddon Post Office is in the wrong place and is consequently 1 largely ignored. The old A30 through Fraddon. Narrow paths and over hanging vegetation. 1 The road between Fraddon Post Office and McDonalds. Traffic - particularly through 1 traffic far too fast. We are encouraging children to walk to school but it is dangerous in many places for children and their parents/carers to cross the road due to the volume & speed of traffic. The road between the Blue Anchor and Post Office. 1 The road by the turnings to A30 several have sped past then reversed back and lorries 1 speed thro! The road from Summercourt to Brighton Cross is very dangerous for cyclists, 1 pedestrians and motorists. I have stopped walking it. The road going to the School (the Drang) also coming up through Fraddon and St 1 Francis Road. The road leading up to the school, St Columb Road (speed of traffic). 1 The road up to Higher Fraddon, it needs to be wider and have footpaths. 1 The speed of traffic up/down St Austell Street, given that there are areas such with no 1 pedestrian pathway is dangerous. The stretch of road from the corner house and past the Blue Anchor, busy due to cars 1 parking on the road. There is no junction sign for Queens Road when driving from Fraddon past Queens 1 Garage. (This junction is not visible from this direction). Through Fraddon can create problems if no-one is willing to wait or no spaces to pull in 1 - same as St Francis Road Top of Barton Lane for motorists. The entrance to the Co-op-Cloden Mews. 1 Top of Drang - needs zebra crossing. All road up to school. 1 Top of Drang/school run. Children walking to school crossing road where people are 1 pulling on and off pavements. Top of the Drang. St Francis Road gets very congested with cars parked both sides of 1 the road. Traffic lights at Summercourt. 1 Traffic lights in Summercourt need to be adjusted to enable pedestrians to cross safely - 1 allowing time between one set changing to red and the others to green. Trefullock Moor. Beacon Road. 1

121

No of 6. Dangerous for either pedestrians or motorists responses Trevarren. 1 Trying to cross the road to Clock Garage when you can't see the cars coming up from 1 Summercourt, the grass verge is not cut back far away. Unfortunately have not been here long enough to make any qualified judgements. Only 1 outside the Co-op at present. Unfortunately nearly all the main roads around the area are becoming dangerous again 1 due to housing expansion (more residents more traffic). Vehicles leaving the by-pass and speeding through the village. Speeding cars driven by 1 young men in the main! And buses going too fast - there needs to be protection of some sort by the school. Visibility for drivers and pedestrians on the stretch of road from the post office in 1 Fraddon to beyond the Blue Anchor pub due to parked cars. Walk up to school from Co-op. 1 Where vehicles are parked on the road. Where so-called provision for cyclists is placed 1 at the bottom of Fraddon Hill and roundabout is HOPELESS. Yes - Highway lorry parked on Moorland Road. St Columb Road Co-op. 1 Yes - though Fraddon and the speeding through Trevarren/Black Cross which is a 30 1 zone. Yes both A30 slip road. 5 houses in a dangerous place as no cars are given warning to 1 slow down for residential area. I have had 2 near misses due to speed. Sign post in visual field of drivers - needs to be moved. Yes parked cars at St Columb Road coming from the level crossing, towards St Columb 1 Road crossing we nearly had a head on crash. Yes, a lot of roads are not wide enough but I do not see how you can change that on the 1 main roads. Yes, as the bus stop no longer exists at Trewinnion turn, you have to walk from 1 Summercourt and there is no proper footpath. Yes, Chapel Road at school times and tea time. 1 Yes, near the School in Summercourt. 1 Yes, St Columb Road. Parking with GP Surgery and AJ's customer/patients and public 1 also use the entrance/to Fairview Park and they park on junction. Very dangerous and frustrating. Yes, the crossroads in Summercourtt, especially if crossing the road after going to the 1 shop. You can't see what is coming as speed is usually involved. Yes, the large fir tree beside our house at Summercourt crossroads always has broken 1 branches dangling over the pavements. Yes, the road up to Higher Fraddon. 1 Yes. Fraddon/St Francis Road/St Columb Road. 1 Yes. In the unnamed road leading to Bio Gas in Higher Fraddon. No room for 1 pavements, danger especially for children walking to school or school buses and other pedestrians, caused by enormouse increase in traffic in what was formerly a quiet road. Youths on mopeds ride through the barriers at the top of the Drang (no through road) 1 and ride up and down the road at some speed, posing danger to pedestrians. I've had two near misses when walking my son in his pushchair.

7. Do you have any other ideas to improve road safety in the Parish?

There were a variety of recommendations to held improve the road safety of the Parish. Top suggestions included speed cameras and speed humps. The full list of ideas is detailed below:

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses No. 14 Speed cameras. 11 Speed humps. 10 Flashing speed reminders. 5 Traffic calming. 4 Police presence. 3 20mph speed limits. 2 Better enforcement of speed limits. 2 Double yellow lines. 2 Flashing 30mph signs. 2 More yellow lines. 2 Yellow lines. 2 (Indian Queens) Maybe a lollipop lady for school times up the top entrance to the 1 School - (the road along from Queens Garage). 20mph limits in all towns and villages. 1 20mph speed limits in built-up areas or speed humps would be better as there is no-one 1 to enforce speed limits. Re-paint double yellow lines outside Co-op - St Francis Road and request enforcement by? Police? PCSO's? Council? A bye-law insisting cars park on drives or hard standings when they have them. 1 Facilitating front gardens becoming parking hard standings. Enforcing the speed limit along the old A30. Prohibiting road parking for commercial or industrial vehicles for longer than delivery time (say 10 mins) A crossing by Blue Anchor? 1 A crossing for pedestrians somewhere near the shop at the traffic lights in 1 Summercourt. A crossing near the school. 1 A lollipop lady at school times. 1 A lollipop lady. 20mph by Drang top. Zebra crossing by top of Drang. More PCSO 1 presence at school opening/closing time. A sign to slow the traffic down at school times in Summercourt. 1 A zebra crossing at St Columb Road junction. 1 Abolish on road parking and police speeding rigorously. 1 Access only for very narrow lanes. Weight restrictions for very narrow lanes. 1 All new houses to have a minimum of two parking spaces. 1 Allocated parking for shops and yellow lines elsewhere. Permit parking? 1 Allow a slip road to be build leading from the new Bio Gas site to the by-pass (A30). 1 There is enough room to provide a safe run-in road. Around the school area makes people walk more, or park elsewhere. 1

123

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses Ban HGVs on A392, possible speed humps!! 1 Ban tractors and other agricultural machinery and HGVs. 1 Beacon Road and St Austell Street, Summercourt. The road by the Shell Garage in 1 Fraddon. It is virtually impossible to see to cross this road for a lot of its length. A zebra or pelican crossing would be very beneficial. Better crossings. Potentially traffic lights. 1 Better lighting. 1 Better public transport options would help with the decrease in use of cars. 1 Better road signs and pedestrian crossings. 1 Bigger pavements. 1 Bit too late. The village has been allowed to out grown itself. Planning given without 1 thought of parking and whether the village could cope. By pass the A3058 would be a good start (Summercourt). Traffic calming and 1 pedestrian crossings. By-pass to St Austell/Newquay speed cones/bumps. 1 Cameras on roundabout near Kingsley Village. My old house overlooked it and I 1 witnessed terrifying wheel spins, driving etc from boy racers. Cameras to install at "hot-spots" as chosen by the community via these questionnaires. 1 Car parks, more off road parking. 1 'Chicanes' to slow traffic, and speed cameras. Humps only as a last resort. 1 Clear rubbish (close road if possible). 1 Creation of more off-road parking areas with specified use of residents. More 1 footpaths/pedestrians routes. Crossing the road to school would benefit from a zebra crossing or lollipop lady. 1 Crossing to the Recreation Ground for the kids. 1 Cycle lanes/pedestrian walk ways everywhere. Better pothole action and maintain 1 surface. Definitely need speed humps through the parish this would. 1 Discourage it as a short cut by placing traffic control measures. If a parking facility was 1 available at the back of my house that would also help. Don’t like them but speed humps not to small ones. 1 Don't let big lorries go through village (St Columb Road) except if delivering to local 1 shops. Double yellow lines through village on the old A30. To avoid bottlenecks, and increase 1 traffic flow. Double yellows on part of St Francis Road. 1 Educate people and children. 1 Enforce flyposted notices at junctions that distract motorists or obscure vision. 1 Enforce strict parking rules outside Summercourt School during drop off and pick up 1 times. Enforce the law. 1 Explore access to A30 from new Bio Gas plant - so avoiding local housing. 1

124

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses Extended yellow lines. More pull-in places (yellow lines) on long stretches of parked 1 cars but yellow lines had to be not parked as - not happening at the moment especially in Fraddon/Indian Queens/St Columb Road. Fell the fir free beside our house at Summercourt Crossroads. 1 Flashing "30" mph signs, pedestrian crossing, wider pavements. 1 Flashing speed sign indicators. Speed humps. 1 Footpath around A30 roundabout at Indian Queens. 1 Francis Road danger for pedestrians maybe put in zebra crossings near the Drang on 1 Francis Road (as near School). Flashing warning signs when 30mph speed limit exceeded. Free local lit car park for residents, maybe in chapel car parks? 1 Have speed restrictions in lanes. 1 I live on a small lane with a fairly large number of homes. We also have contractor 1 related traffic which are noisy and do speed. We now have also LGVs delivering to the biomass generator site to construct it to be followed by numerous large lorries (LGVs) every day supplying a plant along a lane not wide enough for two cars to pass in many places. How can this be right when the A30 is so close and more appropriate for this type and number of vehicles? I think the cars parked in Beacon Road provide quite a good 'traffic-calming' service. If 1 they were not there, the traffic would probably go too fast and the Council would have to pay to put speed-humps in. If all fails, one way all round. 1 If applicable building suitable parking areas for residents. 1 If walking some footpaths in places along Chapel Road/Parka Road Fraddon have 1 vegetation overhanging forcing to walk near edge of kerb. Some private and field boundary hedgerows need cutting back in some places 2-3ft of pavement width is lost. Improve/straighten the road between the bus garage and Brighton Cross. 1 In the Kingsley Court area I feel there should be more consideration for wheelchair 1 users/mobility scooters and pushchairs. In particularly we need clearer access for emergency vehicles. Install pavement for safety of school children morning and afternoon. 1 Introduce one way only roads. 1 Just police the problems. Sort out the cause. 1 Kingsley Development could sell their waste ground (opposite Fairview Park) as car 1 spaces as opposed to further housing. Limit amount of commercial vehicles for property if taking up off road or street parking 1 that other residents also need. Lollipop lady/man to safeguard children walking to school. 1 Lollipop person at top of Drang. Traffic calming not bumps though at top of Drang. 1 Longer times of red at the traffic lights at peak times (8.30-9.30) and (3.00-4.00) for 1 children crossing from school and the bus. Lower speed limit to 20mph and ENFORCE IT. 1 Lower speed limit. 1 Lower the speed limit. 1 Make residents use their drives and rear of property. 1 125

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses Make sure the speed limits are enforced, make sure all vehicles have properly 1 functioning lights more police presence and interaction is required. Maybe a lollipop person at school times. 1 More car parking spaces needed double yellow lines. 1 More emphasis on speed limit adherence in the existing 30mph areas. 1 More pavements and footpaths! 1 More police patrols for "boy racers". 1 More police speed traps. Traffic warden. 1 More raised humps/traffic calming measures. 1 More speed signs - sleeping policeman needed. 1 More yellow lines. Outside St Columb Road Co-op is very dangerous with parking on 1 the bend and on the bus stop. This is NEVER policed. Narrow lane needs quiet lane status to stop cut through speed hounds. Saw excellent 1 speed awareness indicators with positive reinforcement ie good journey. Well done. Narrow pavements, provide pull in parking for the houses and place 'speed pillows' to 1 slow traffic. Need more 'barriers' to break up speeds on old A30 - such as 'priority build-outs' or 1 speed bumps. New houses to be built with garage. Most houses have two or three cars now. 1 New Road - require speed traps and signs. The presence of a police car would not go 1 amiss on a Sunday morning. Occasional high visibility of a local police officer would keep the speeds down. 1 One way system around the village. 1 Pedestrian crossings / Pelican crossings. 1 People should obey restrictions, park sensibly and not speed. 1 Perhaps 20mph would be appropriate through Fraddon due to heavy traffic, and outside 1 Summercourt School - traffic leaving the bypass is still travelling too fast when it reaches the school. Permanent 30mph lights and more 30mph signs. 1 Planning process should ensure new developments have adequate parking (off road!). 1 Probably not so much the amount of traffic, more about the speed. I live in a 30mph 1 area and traffic often speeds up there at 50+ mph. I think traffic calming should be put in place to slow them down (Parka Road). Provide multi story parking for customers at Co-op with lorry delivery bays at ground 1 level. Create parking bays along St Francis Road from entrance to Parka Close Council Estate calming measures. Put a weight limit of 3 tons on all the villages in the parish (we do have a by-pass). 1 Put in speed limit signs at each end of each village main road, and also have advisory 1 speed limit signs at intervals along the route, employ traffic calming measures as in other villages in the area, police speed check. Reduce speed on rural roads/cameras/width restrictions. 1 Remove "white cross" from the sign down to Retyn Bridge as it is single track no 1 passing places for 1 mile. Holidaymakers use it as a short cut and cannot reverse.

126

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses Remove the pointless national speed limit stretch of road between the two 30mph limits 1 in Fraddon and St Columb Road. Repaint road markings and put up more speed signs. 1 Repair existing boundaries and poor surfaces. 1 Sleeping policeman between Fraddon Post Office and the roundabout after Blue 1 Anchor going towards Kingsley Village. Sleeping policeman. 1 Slip road off A30 into Summercourt (west bound) should have reduced speed limit, and 1 30mph restriction should be extended to staggered junction before village (it currently starts just before school). 'Slow' signs - speed bumps, etc; speed cameras. 1 Slow up traffic. 1 Slowing down entrance from A39 onto Indian Queens A30 roundabout. Cars go onto 1 roundabout really quickly. Some 20MPH zones in certain areas. 1 Some sort of speed reduction in and out of village. 1 Speed bumps and pedestrian crossings. 1 Speed bumps on Chapel Road. Police checks/traffic warden for Queens Garage. 1 Restricted parking at Fraddon Village. Speed bumps or cameras at St Columb Road - join road to Fraddon. 1 Speed bumps!! Crossings. 1 Speed bumps. I believe once some of the primary school children worked with police to 1 record vehicles speeds in the village. Speed bumps. The top of the Drang always an issue when the children are leaving 1 school. Speed camera for Summercourt. 1 Speed cameras at St Columb Road. 1 Speed humps by schools. 1 Speed humps on main roads. Speed signage. Higher visibility of public services. 1 Speed humps/give priority to oncoming traffic scheme. 1 Speed humps/regular traffic warden or parking enforcement officer. 1 Speed limit of 20 for the whole village area of Indian Queens, Fraddon and St Columb 1 Road. Speed limit signs within village to allow for the safety of the residents. 1 Speed limits. 1 Speed ramps are not the answer as they damage suspension of the residents cars. 1 Speed ramps, priority traffic signs. 1 Speed reminders. 1 Speeding controls, lower MPH in built up areas. 1 St Francis Road, Moorland Road both have grass. Why cannot that be turned into 1 parking even if they are charged to use it. Stick some road humps in, on the way up to school to slow cars/buses down. 1

127

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses Stop all on-road parking. Place speed limits throughout Fraddon, St Columb Road and 1 Indian Queens throughout the 30mph speed limited areas. Put curbs round the mini roundabouts to stop idiots driving over them. Stop building new houses in the villages, use land outside. 1 Stop building so much within the village. Maybe take the trees down and use the 1 grassed area from the entrance of Carworgie way up to the Victory Hall keeping the path, but maybe a few parking spaces there. Stop parking in road by Blue Anchor make it off road. 1 Stop parking on road. 1 The junction to get on A30 eastbound at Summercourt. The grass/hedges here get too 1 high to make a safe and easy exit towards Summercourt. The A3058 should have speed cameras. Too many accidents occur on the A3058 and speed cameras should be in place. The road sign to Newquay-St Austell from A30. Directs heavy traffic into village - this 1 should be re-considered. The section of road between St Columb Road village and Fraddon should be '40' - not 1 national speed limit. The Length of road is too short and a lot of speed needs to be lost before entering village. There are people employed and paid to do this job. What I have seen of their efforts in 1 Cornwall. I am not impressed. Traffic calming along Fraddon main road - no speed humps but chicanes may be? 1 Traffic calming along School Road. 1 Traffic calming and ban on HGV etc buses, buses fitted with town speed restrictions. 1 Traffic calming as in St Dennis (Hendra Road) and approach road to St Columb. 1 Double yellow lines on 90% of roads especially on bends (ie below St Columb Road pub - rail crossing). Traffic calming in all three villages and a mini-roundabout located on the junction of St 1 Columb Road /St Francis Road/Newquay Road outside the Queen and Railway Public House. Traffic calming islands. Speed humps. Speed camera. Improved signs. 1 Traffic calming on old A30 1 Traffic calming on the main road through Fraddon. 1 Traffic calming on the road between Fraddon Post Office and McDonalds. Speed 1 enforcement - police random hand held camera checks may be a reality check for those who speed through our village. Traffic calming Parka Road. 1 Traffic calming. Have the signs that flash up "30 slow down". 1 Traffic calming/speed cameras. 1 Traffic control islands. 1 Traffic lights St Columb Crossroads. 1 Traffic lights? 1 Traffic slowing islands or similar would ensure vehicles do slow down along this road. 1 Traffic warden; double yellow lines at Suncrest apart from residents. 1 Use front gardens to get cars off street. 1

128

No of 7. Ideas to improve road safety responses Use of double yellow lines around corners going to junctions/main roads. 1 We must all use our buses if we can. 1 We should have car park areas in the parish for cars to use. 1 Weight limits should be lowered and enforced. 1 Widen Fraddon Road through and put in humps they are the only thing that will slow 1 traffic, besides parked cars. Yellow lines are good, but not if they are ignored and not policed. 1 Yes - stop motorist parking on yellow lines, parking on bus stops. 1 Yes. Get the lorries coming off the A30 to biogas plant - not through villages where the 1 roads are totally inadequate to cope. Yes. More traffic calming measures (ie road humps, road narrowing). 1 Zebra crossing would make it safer for children to get to shops and parks. 1 Zebra crossings. Speed ramps. 1

8. How do you rate local bus services?

Very Adequate/ Very Don’t Yes Truro Good Adequate Poor Good Poor Poor know Route 0 202 132 0 49 0 1 2 1 Timetable 0 156 125 1 89 3 1 0 0 Reliability 0 93 103 3 164 3 1 0 0 Cost 1 76 117 0 112 3 2 0 0 Disabled Access 0 67 61 0 88 0 9 0 0

One respondent who felt the cost of the local bus service was good made the following additional comment: “With a bus pass!”

One respondent who felt that disabled access on the local bus services was good made the following additional comment: “Sometimes”.

Respondents made the following general comments: “Cost option – Need more subsidy from Cornwall Council to fulfil their travel plan. Disabled access option – Not ideal for wheelchair users or those with restricted movement but staff are always helpful”. “Do not use unreliable services.” “Don’t use them.” “Erratic frantic driving.” “I don’t use the buses that often to comment on reliability.” “No bus service in this area.” “On good days. But sometimes very late/not turn up so poor”. “Poor so do not use.”

129

9. How often do you catch a train at St Columb Road Station?

81% (601 respondents) have not used the train which leaves from St Columb Road.

9. Use of Train at St Columb Road No of respondents Never 60 1 Occasionally 102 Frequently (at least one a month) 7 Would like to 2 TOTAL 712

One respondent who never uses the train made the following comment: “But we should use it more often.” “Was not aware you could.”

10. Do you have any concerns about public transport in our area?

No of 10. Concerns about public transport responses No/no concerns. 40 Unreliable bus service. 9 Buses are frequently late or do not turn up at all. 3 All bus stops should have shelter, some like the one near Fraddon sign doesn’t why?? 1 Because public transport doesn’t run on a regular basis people buy cars. Then you get 1 less people using the public transport then people who can’t drive or afford a car can’t get anywhere. Prices keep going up and with less trips it must be hard if you can't drive. Branch line train timetable appalling - I would like to use it more to get to work but the 1 timetable is too late start and too early finish. Limited. Bus quality scar y. Some of those Western Greyhound buses feel like death traps. Bus is a hit and miss. Have waited over an hour before due to it not turning up. 1 Bus not enough in the weekend (Sunday no late bus to Newquay). 1 Bus service not good. So do not use! 1 Bus services are very poor, breaking down, expensive. 1 Bus services stop very early in the day. More frequent services running for longer 1 hours. Bus stops are in the wrong places in my opinion. 1 Buses are very expensive, often just don't turn up, or just go past waiting people 1 without stopping. Buses need to be reliable and cheaper so that people can rely on them and use them for 1 work. Buses not arriving at specified times. 1 Buses sometimes don't stop or are very late. The charges for buses are very high 1 especially for children. Con cern that the council will end bus subsides for over 60's. This is a good way to keep 1 buses running and crucially for the future as traffic increases.

No of 10. Concerns about public transport responses Could be cleaner and more bus shelters in exposed areas as we do get gales and driving 1 rain. One at the bus stop by Heather Meadow would be wonderful. As waiting there in bad weather is dreadful!! Could do with buses to Bodmin and maybe Trago Mills. 1 Didn't know you could catch a train at St Columb. In summer months buses to St 1 Austell are almost non-existent, my husband waited 2 hours on a couple of occasions and had to pay £15 at Queens Garage for a taxi to work! Truro always served fairly well. Do not use as not enough. 1 During busy periods buses get later and later, until they miss one out and leave people 1 stranded. Western Greyhound in particular. Earlier trains to Plymouth for shopping, working and university. 1 Far too many buses do not show up. 1 Frequency and reliability are issues for working people. 1 Greyhound buses have been unreliable since Cornwall Council has cut their subsidies. 1 Have to drive to Bodmin and St Austell for trains as limited availability to cross 1 country trains. I avoid it if possible. The buses drive too fast, very erratic and the journeys take for 1 ever! I believe buses are regular. 1 I don’t use public transport much, but it seems Western Greyhound are having 1 reliability issues and most of their drivers drive like idiots. I fear the agreed target will not be adhered to - and more will be the final number. Most 1 households need transport to reach work etc and local public transport is poorly provided. I suggest our transport people have a word with Devon. 1 I was very concerned that the 579 bus ceased calling at Mitchell no-one east of Mitchell 1 can get there without following a circuitous route. There is a GPs surgery in Summercourt once a week, but people in Mitchell can't get to it. They have to bus to Truro, then another bus to Probus. I work in Truro and would be happy to use the bus if reliable and affordable. I have 1 tried to use the bus service but it just too unreliable - especially at the end of the day and in the summer. I would if they were more frequent/regular. 1 I would use it more if I were not concerned about reliability. 1 I'm glad and lucky to be a car owner. 1 Important to maintain the current bus routes and frequency. Worried about loss of 1 service due to reductions in subsidies to the bus companies. Inadequate especially during the summer months when buses are frequently full. 1 Infrequent long routes. Does not start early enough for some workers. 1 It is as expected for rural area. 1 It is very unreliable, costly, and too much money spent on bus stops rather than 1 improving the transport.

No of 10. Concerns about public transport responses Lack of destinations. Plus from Pedna Carne we have to negotiate a steep hill so if we 1 want to catch a bus other than the two available on the park it is difficult for elderly people to trek up and down the hill. A small car park at the bottom of the hill would enable residents to use public transport. Last bus back from Newquay to St Austell on a Sunday is too early there should be 1 another between 8 and 10. More direct bus route to Truro (takes 40 mins to get to Truro) and more frequent buses 1 to Truro. Also later buses from Truro to Fraddon especially on a Friday and Saturday night. More frequent buses. But I also understand financial cuts need to be made, due to the 1 deficit post financial crisis. More people should use it. 1 More publicity of timetables. Hunting online for buses etc is not easy. 1 More reliable bus service, ON TIME. 1 More routes seem to be disappearing because subsides are being withdrawn making 1 them uneconomical for companies to run. Would use trains if more frequent. Much like any other area, maybe not enough at appropriate times. 1 My son used to work in Newquay. Buses frequently failed to turn up - I know he was 1 there on time - he routinely went an hour early to have "two chances" of a bus! Need a reliable evening service. 1 Never use it. Never use public services taken too long or always later or don’t turn up. 1 No access to and from doctors surgeries. Need more buses into Mitchell and a Sunday 1 service. No bus stops along Seaview Terrace - if there was we would use. 1 No Sunday Service in Mitchell. To get to Mitchell from Summercourt or Fraddon you 1 have to go via Newquay! No, have to take the car as commute 60+ miles a day. 1 No, we are aware that Greyhound Bus Company has had problems, but that is not 1 anything that we can do. The Government and Cornwall Council needs to try and sort this out. Not as regular as it used to be. 1 Not enough and regular timetabled transport. Some concerns about reliability and 1 times. Not enough buses. 1 Not fantastic. 1 Not me personally as I use my car or walk to work. 1 Not reliable of late - never a nice journey either - lots of the bus drivers are maniacs. 1 Not sufficient - bus often does not turn up. Times of buses/trains too infrequent. Can 1 often go into Newquay, Truro, but times do not match to be able to get back in a reasonable timeframe. Not yet. 1 OAP bus passes should be protected. 1 Only fears that it might be withdrawn. 1

132

No of 10. Concerns about public transport responses Only that funding support for local buses may be a problem, with our ever tightening 1 budget. Only the drivers of buses, no consideration for other road users and also dog owners 1 who fail to pick up their dog waste from the lane beside the timber yard leading into train station and storage unit. People who use the doctors surgery are often late for appointments as the bus has not 1 turned up. Poor time keeping means you need to catch a earlier bus to get to appointments etc. 1 Poor. 1 Reduced services in areas, certain routes not operating after early evening. Changes in 1 timetables seem unnecessary (ie winter/summer). Route and disabled access poor; timetable, reliability and cost - very poor. 1 Sometimes services are cut out without notice. Some of the buses ae really old and 1 rickety. Summer train timetable for St Columb Road. 1 The bus has been late or not turned up at all over the last year or do. I do not have to 1 pay now but would pay if it made the buses better. The bus is very expensive and the trains do not stop often enough at St Columb Road. 1 The bus service appears to be excellent but generates a lot of traffic in St Austell Street 1 where the depot is in Summercourt. The bus service not well advertised. The rail service is spasmodic, earlier and regular 1 hourly service possibly to St Austell (using the old track bed) would be much better. Bus services not good. Lack of rail services on summer Saturdays from St Columb. The buses do not get into Truro until 9.15am - if they got there earlier more people may 1 use it. The changes to the bus stop locations in Summercourt create more trafic as they stop as 1 cars cannot pass and we are disappointed about a bus stop being painted over our drive entrance, which we received no warning of and I cannot find an outlet to complain to regarding this. The Greyhound Bus service seems very unreliable at the moment. I appreciate that in 1 holiday periods buses can be delayed but some buses just don't turn up. The rail network needs a rethink and in the meantime, we must maintain a functional 1 bus service. The route at Gummows Shop, we find reasonable from 8am till 6pm. Then there is 1 nothing Sundays - no transport at all. The timetables of local bus services are not co-ordinated with national bus or train 1 services. There is no real public transport. 1 Time tables mean drivers have to break speed limits to keep to them. Buses frequently 1 late and don't turn up especially in high summer. Drivers, when late, take it upon themselves to avoid places (like Mitchell) if no-one wants to get off thereby leaving Train service could be improved on the St Columb branch line, we would use more if it 1 was a better service. Trains run more often they would be the ideal travel to Newquay. 1 Underused, worried it will stop. 1

133

No of 10. Concerns about public transport responses Unreliability of buses, continually late and don't turn up. Pho ne operators don't tell truth 1 regarding service running and are rude as well. Unreliable. Sunday buses inadequate. Surf boards not allowed on buses. 1 Unreliable. Too expensive. Not frequent enough. 1 Very rare I use public transport. 1 We don't use public transport but one of my carers comes by bus and they are often 1 late. I've used the train in the past and it was fine, I've used buses once or twice and they weren't so good. Western Greyhound buses are unreliable. More evening and Sunday buses required. 1 Last bus from Truro leaves at 22.30! Western Greyhound is either late or doesn’t turn up at all. 1 Western Greyhound must improve service (late bus no shows, overcrowding in 1 summer) or another provider sought for this service. Also bus shelter required at Victory Hall/Church stop (at least on one side of road if not both). Western Greyhound need to up their game (ie lateness or simply not turning up) or lose 1 their licence and find another bus company committed to their customers, not themselves!! Western Greyhound used to be excellent but are now unreliable. You need to catch a 1 bus 2 hours before work/appointments to guarantee to you will be there on time. Diabolical. Western Greyhound. They have gone from a well-run company to being unreliable the 1 number of buses that I see every day being towed back is unbelievable. With buses that are worn out this company is struggling, my worry is how long can they continue. Western Greyhound's main base is at the bottom of our road which creates increased 1 traffic and noise. As it got bigger it should be moved to an industrial estate away from residential areas. When I retire and can't drive will need to use buses to get about. 1 Would prefer more train link up facilities. 1 Would use the train more, but many do not stop (even for request) at St Columb Road. 1 None at all or Saturdays. Yes - widening "Narrow Lane" to facilitate public transport for the village elders. 1 Yes hourly serve to Truro would be ok if it ran to time and was reliable. 1 Yes, availability. 1 Yes, I have been late for work in Newquay because the 7.03 has just not turned up. It is 1 late frequently ("521") Western Greyhound. Yes, the local bus service is disgusting. Buses frequently are late and sometimes never 1 run. When these buses do arrive there are connections to your final destination which cannot be met leaving you stranded. Yes. There isn't frequent/fast enough public transport in the area. 1

11. Would you support the provision of better facilities for cyclists (for example, cycle paths) in St Enoder Parish?

68% (507 respondents) would like to see the improvement of facilities for cyclists.

11. Better facilities for cyclists No of respondents Yes 507 This is of no concern to me 136 No 62 TOTAL 703

Respondents who supported better facilties for cyclists made the following additional comment: “And horseriders”. “Off road”. “Only if built sensibly such that cyclists don’t need to cross roads (ie away from main roads is best).”

A respondent who does not support better facilties for cyclists made the following additional comment: “Getting them to cycle on the roads and not the pavements would be a good start!”

Respondents made the following general comments: “But not used now.” “Sort out on street parking then wouldn't be an issue”. “Where would they be?”

SECTION 6: RENEWABLE ENERGY

Eight surveys were not completed for this section.

1. Would you support any of the following?

66% (493 respondents) do not agree with the provision of more large wind turbines in the Parish; and 55% (414 respondents) disagree with more large wind turbines across Mid Cornwall. 56% (417 respondents) do not agree with more solar farms in the Parish. However 76% (569 respondents) would like to see an increase in the use of roofs of buildings for solar panels.

1. Renewable Energy option: No of respondents Yes No Maybe Don’t know /not sure More large wind turbines (over 40m high) in St Enoder Parish 152 493 2 1 More large wind turbines (over 40m high) in Mid Cornwall 227 414 1 1 More small wind turbines (under 40m high) in St Enoder Parish 268 368 0 2 More small wind turbines (under 40m high) in Mid Cornwall 330 323 0 2 More solar farms in the Parish 237 417 2 3 More solar farms in Mid Cornwall 270 370 0 3 Solar panels on the roofs of buildings 569 106 1 1

One respondent who supported more large wind turbines (over 40m high) in Mid Cornwall made the following additional comment: “Brownfield”.

Two respondents who supported more solar farms in the Parish made the following additional comment: “Within reason”.

Two respondents who do not support more solar farms in the Parish or in Mid Cornwall made the following additional comment: “Waste of space”.

Two individual respondents who supported more solar farms in Mid Cornwall made the following additional comment: “Brownfield”; “But only in ground waste”.

Three respondents who supported solar panels of roofs on buildings made the following additional comment: “Industrial/industrial buildings”.

Two respondents made the following comment in relation to solar panels on roofs of buildings made the following comment: “Surely this is to do with homeowners”.

One respondent made the following general comment: “More on farm and food waste.”

2. If you oppose more wind turbines, please set out your reasons for this?

Residents are against wind turbines being built in the parish as they feel they are not attractive to the landscape – spoiling the natural beauty of the land; too many of them already; and are noisy.

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses A blot on the landscape/eyesore. 15 Spoils the natural views of the area. 15 Already too many. 14 Noise. 10 Spoiling the countryside. 6 Small turbines are OK. 2 1) There are too many turbines in St Enoder and surrounding parishes. 2) They are not 1 working, a blot of the time as there is no wind or too much wind and they are turned off. 3) There is lots of opposition which sets neighbour against neighbour, and alot of ill feeling caused. 4) They make money for the developer and the landowner not for anyone else. 5) What happens in 20 years? They will need maintaining who will foot the bill? 1. They are NOT a real solution to our energy needs. 2. The landscape and environment 1 have been RUINED by them. 3. They are a proven health risk for those living nearby. 1. Why should we have them close to St Enoder when there are many open countryside 1 away from development areas i.e. Bodmin Moors. A blot on the landscape and far too big!! They are not efficient and are a money making 1 exercise for the landowner. A few are 'blending'. A vast number unsightly. 1 A landscape peppered with numerous poor efficiency turbines is less appealing than a 1 few well designed efficient turbines situated away from residential properties (preferably on degraded land). Are the over 40 metres loud, if so would not want them near housing. 1 Are they really effective? 1 Big turbines produce large amounts of electricity they turn slower and therefore not as 1 obtrusive. Blot on the landscape. They are not cost effective, it is only the governments subsidy 1 that keeps them in profit, whatever happened to wave technology? Hub? Both the turbines and solar farms already erected. Give the impression of just random 1 planting. Care for the view and landscape appears to be have been abandoned! If more solar farms and/or turbines are necessary area's with reasoanble cover or serious consideration should be given to some form of camoflage with any new projects. Care ful siting is necessary to avoid noise and flicker for domestic properties. There is a 1 risk of having too many smaller turbines that don’t generate much - whereas one or two large turbines could achieve much more with less impact. Encourage development to allow local community to buy shares in turbines and use some of the profits to tackle fuel poverty. Completely useless and will NOT be there in 10 years time. Some parts of the world 1 (USA) have abandoned them already.

137

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses Cornwall and particularly the surrounding area has far too many already. They are 1 noisy and unattractive. If there were no subsidies would there be as many applications? It is not about sustainable energy, but greed! Cornwall has always been a beautiful county it is being spoiled with the wind turbines, 1 they are so unsightly people will eventually stop coming to Cornwall. Cornwall looks like a pin cushion. Have a wind farm and cluster them, but don't stick 1 them everywhere randomly. Cost to parish and location. 1 Cumulative and successive views/noise/loss of amenity for residents. Constraints on 1 current installations and lack of generation that result in turbines running at under 24% efficiency as per DECC figures. Over generous subsidies that disincentivise farmers to farm. The loss of good/prime farm land for large scale solar. The need for back up generation that negates any gains from wind/solar. The large subsidies that skews farming practices. Large scale AD that promotes 'hubbing waste' around the area, and using arable/grass land to grow maize to burn. Destroying Cornwall countryside. What happened to open green fields (SPOILING 1 CORNWALL). Don't like the look of them. Don't want too many of them. 1 Don't really know much about wind turbines. 1 Electric is still expensive. Not helping reduce the cost of electric just more money for 1 those who can afford to build them. Enough already in the area. Do not know who reaps the benefit whether it is local or 1 goes to another area. Enough is enough, what do our visitors think? Do they still find Cornwall attractive? 1 Especially on hill overlooking Penda Close (Aberfan Hill slippes so could this rebuilt 1 Hill) 144 killed. Every horizon you see a wind turbine. Householders are not reaping any benefit from 1 this. No need for any in the parish. Eye sore/greedy farmers. 1 Eyesore. Owned by germans/greedy farmers. The Lake District is protected for 1 outstanding area of beauty why not Cornwall? From my understanding the amount of power generated from both sources is never 1 sufficient to power what is required. What about wave power we are surrounded by water but the power of this is never harnessed. What a missed opportunity. Grid currently unable to store generated electricity - therefore work on this first. Make 1 more use of sea energy rather than the land. Have not proved to be efficient. Prove to us the benefit. Ugly. 1 I can see them everywhere! 1 I do not consider this to be the best way to provide renewable energy. 1 I do not dislike the wind turbines we already have, but I would not wish to see every 1 field covered in them. I do not like large wind turbines too close to housing. 1 I don't know enough about the large wind turbines so not sure about saying yes or no to 1 these.

138

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses I don't oppose them but there needs to be a restriction on how many and where these 1 are placed. One of the main reasons I choose to live in Cornwall is for the green open landscape. I don't oppose wind turbines just think smaller ones are more appropriate for the 1 landscape. I don't see the harm in having them. I don't agree in covering Cornwall with them but a 1 few more wouldn't hurt. I don't want to be surrounded by wind turbines. 1 I have read that properties in close proximity to wind turbines are valued lower than 1 they were previously and that residents experience some level of noise. I oppose more wind turbines because of the way subsides are going to landowners. 1 Communities feel they have no stake in what becomes and eyesore. I think everything in moderation but remember we have to live here! 1 I think mid-Cornwall has 'done it's part' with renewable energy. 1 I think the village has enough large turbines. 1 I think there are enough already & they are ruining the beautiful countryside. Solar 1 panels on roofs I totally agree with as they do not protrude and are used on something already existing. I think they are a blot on the landscape and will never help with the cost of electricity. 1 I think we have our fair share close by I think the west of the county should have some. 1 I think we now have enough they are taking over. At every vantage point in Cornwall at 1 least one can be seen! I would support more if the power generated by turbines was used by our own parish. 1 Bills just keep going up regardless of free energy. If more wind turbines are to be put up in the St Enoder area. If we have to look at them 1 couldn't the parish they are errected in receive a relief against the electricity used in their homes. I'm for them as long as they don't omit any harmful radiation (like mobile phone masts 1 do) and as long as they aren't noisy if near houses. I don't know all the facts to be sure. Impact on the environment - perhaps have more in areas like the new services on the 1 A30. Industrial garbage littering the countryside. If you travel to a county such as Dorset you 1 would be hard pressed to find one. From any point in Cornwall you can see one or more. Inefficient and ugly. 1 Interfere with TV signals. 1 It depends on where they are placed. 1 It is ruining the countryside and I believe that they are a health hazzard. 1 Its proving to be intrusive on the landscape relatively costly and inefficient. 1 Landscape impact, noise, low efficiency, cost, house price depreciation. 1 Large ones don't look nice. 1 Large turbines rotate slower and are more pleasing artistically. 1 Large wind turbines within the Parish produce noise. Are unsightly and devalue 1 adjoining property.

139

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses Large, cumbersome, noise pollution affect the scenery of the area. Too close to peoples 1 houses who bought the property WITHOUT the presence of them. Affects house value. Larger ones in a small village that’s already in flight path could downgrade area, 1 smaller ones maybe more appropriate. Local people don’t get anything out of those turbines or solar panels. 1 My own opinion they look absolutely hideous and spoil the landscape and when 1 looking at views etc all you focus on are those hideous things. No benefit to local people. 1 Noise and asthetics. 1 Noise and health issues. 1 Noise affect house price. Won't be able to walk dogs in farmers fields (with permission) 1 as they'll be locked to public access, like Cross. Noise, flicker, change of landscape, cause of friction between neighbours. Health 1 aspects - long term unknown aspects, tourism negative impacts, loss of tranquility. Not convinced that they make a difference. 1 Not cost effective for the community as a whole. Unsightly. Annoy the hell out of 1 neighbours. Not environmentally friendly. Locals don’t benefit from them, health concern. 1 Not finanically viable and waste of farming ground. New houses should have solar 1 panels. Not in my back yard. 1 Not opposed at all, but the height is an issue. 1 Not sure how efficient they are for the need, ruining views with increase. 1 Our area is too built up for turbines, more favourable to be in the sea! 1 Over 40m high turbines are too much for the parish - noise an issue. 1 Over this years they have increased and become a blot on the landscape. 1 Parish overun with wind turbines already spoling our beautiful area. 1 Questions about the effectiveness of these. 1 Renewable and wind turbines can be removed as quickly as building them. 1 Ruin the landscape, subsidies push up the cost of fuel to households. Only landowners 1 benefit. Should develop wave generation. 1 Small units ok, but units over 40m are out of keeping with the landscape and an 1 eyesore. Spoil the view, they are nosiy and they create a moving shadow for anyone living near. 1 Spoiling of landscape - more subtle ways of creating greener energy. 1 Spoiling our landscape/countryside. 1 Spoiling the countryside. If this was a national park they would not be allowed. 1 Spoils landscape and will not provide enough power to be viable - will still need more 1 power stations. St Enoder Parish has enough wind turbines now and enough is enough. 1 Support small wind turbines depending on where/proximity to dwellings etc. Solar 1 farms preferable when they also allow grazing animals - joint land use and when positioned well out of sight. 140

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses The big ones are just too big and unsightly. 1 The case against Cornwall Council for environmental negligence is being pulled 1 together - go figure. The cumulative visual impact due to the 'scattergun' approach adopted so far. 1 The Government says we have enough. They only exist because of subsidies paid by 1 your and my taxes. They are not "green", and need to be backed up by power stations. They ruin lives. The larger ones are becoming more prevalent in the countryside, posing a danger to 1 birds. Possibly, if they benefit the local community they might be more agreeable. Sadly, small ones are built first, then larger first, then larger once replace them. The only reason large turbines are going up is because they are being subsidised by the 1 Government and there are already too many in the area. I have no objection to smaller turbines which create limited power for the property on which they are located. The size only goes one way - bigger! Don't need or want to be hoodwinked into 1 accepting a small unit only to be replaced by bigger and bigger units. There are blots on the landscape and there are already more than enough. 1 There are enough already - more will spoil the Cornish landscape. 1 There are enough already compared to other counties, they are becoming an eyesore in 1 a beautiful county. There are far too many already and want Cornwall to stay green. 1 There are now so many it is becoming very difficult to take photographs of our 1 beautiful countryside. They are very ugly and inefficient. Also the tourist is here to enjoy our views, but how can they?! The countryside is being ruined by them! There are too many already and locals do not benefit only landowners. 1 There are too many already and they look bad in a tourist area. 1 There is nothing wrong with the smaller turbine but I think the larger ones are an 1 eyesore especially in residential areas. There is only one winner. The person who has the facility on their land. No lower 1 utility prices only eye sores. There seems to be enough already and they are an eyesore on the countryside. No other 1 county I know of has to put up with so many in prominent positions. They are eyesores and non efficient. 1 They are horrible eye-sores, and I am concerned that they are taking away valuable 1 farm land. They are inefficient. 1 They are intrusive when set near to roads and buildings. They also do not generate as 1 much energy as was first thought. They are noisy, they cause flicker and there are far too many in this beautiful county. 1 How long do you think before tourists start to realise, Cornwall is not as pretty as they thought? Then no tourism business. They are not being erected to benefit the local community - just the owner, who can sell 1 his electricity to the highest bidder. They are not cost effective - nor green when cost of manutfacturer in terms of global 1 warming are considered. They spoil the beauty of the local area.

141

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses They are not profitable (except to landowner). Unsightly and ugly spoiling 1 land/seascape. They are spread out eveywhere. One here one there wherever you look. 1 They are ugly and no proof of saving money or energy. Keep Cornwall beautiful as it 1 is! They are ugly and not really efficient enough. 1 They are unsightly and the community does not benefit from them - only really benefit 1 power companies. They are unsightly, inefficient, and no substitute for proper power generation. Why 1 should tax payers line the pockets of develpers to produce intermittent energy. Use the land for food! They are very big and actually make a lot of noise, need to be in a rural location, not in 1 a village. They are very unsightly, are spoiling the countryside. They are ugly and noisy. Put 1 them out to sea where people do not have to look at them. They are visible (and heard) from almost anywhere as things are now. 1 They can be a noise problem for people living near them. 1 They do not work. 1 They look horrible. They are a scar on the face of our landscape. 1 They look terrible and the only people to benefit are the farmers - our prices still keep 1 on going up. Local population does not benefit from the wind turbines. I believe we should make more effort to embrace the power of our local coastline - wave power and 'hot rock' initiatives. They look ugly, both as singles or groups. Turbines are blot on the landscape. 1 They look vulgar and destroy the countryside. 1 They spoil landscape. Inefficient. 1 They spoil the view. They are not (green) the amount of metal/plastic is very bad. 1 They stop the natural flow of the wind. They are very bad for the brain, especially 1 people with dementia who look at them. They are an eyesore and can be dangerous to flocks of birds who may get blown into turbines by the wind. They take up too much farm land. 1 They're an eyesore that do very little for the environment. 1 Think this area becoming inundated with turbines enough already. 1 Think we have quite a lot up here - again use former industrial/brownfield areas. Not 1 too much green field development. Too big, too close to populated areas. Not proven to be fianncially viable over 25 years. 1 Cannot operate in all types of weather. Nuclear the way ahead for the long term (bigger picture). Too many already. Too distracting for motorists. Not cost effective. 1 Too much disruption etc whilst under construction for large ones. 1 Ugly and cannot be hidden by good hedge management. 1 Ugly, damaging to wildlife - not very effective. 1 Ugly, health risk, nausea/vertigo inducting, distracting, benefit few. 1 Unsightly and not cost effective. 1

142

No of 2. Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses Unsightly! Questionable reliability and cost effectiveness. 1 Unsightly, blot on landscape. The sight, sound and space required is disproportionate to 1 the efficiency of electricity generated. Unsightly, inefficient and too costly. There are far too many in Cornwall. 1 Very controversial views expressed publicly as to their efficency. 1 We all like to flick a switch. 1 We already have quite a lot and any more could have an impact on the views of the 1 countryside and look ugly. We already seem to have a disproportionately high number compared to other areas of 1 Cornwall. We are already at saturation point with them. Cornwall has already achieved more than 1 the objective set. We are currently being overrun by wind turbines. Soon there will be more turbines than 1 trees! We don't need any more - pipeline is already at capacity for national grid supply. Just 1 an opportunity for landowners to make money. We don't oppose them as such, but just don't really support them as it is hard to see how 1 much energy is gained in the long run after the turbine has been made and erected etc. Is it a case of there is grant money available so everybody wants them rather We have enough around Summercourt! 1 We have to get our energy from renewables our planet is changing our weather is 1 changing. We have to have them but is our electric cheaper. NO. 1 We just think there are better sites available outside this Parish, in our particular area of 1 St Enoder. We already have the Bio Gas unit therefore do not want additional problems. We need to generate cheap electricity and this is one way, shame that turbines could not 1 have a more sympathetic colour eg blue and green so they blend more w ith surrounding countryside. We support wind turbines, as long as it is done in moderation and not all in one 1 location. We would rather see wind turbines than a power station. 1 What direct benefit do the local people gain from it? They are blotting the landscape in 1 my opinion and some of them to me are too close to road and distration when driving ie one up by Melbur Blockworks. When first came to the area they were a good idea but now we feel they are over doing 1 the project. Willy nilly plann ing! They are going up all over the place! The one at the blockworks is 1 the only sensible one to date. Wind takes up less space for unit of energy produced. 1 Wind turbine farms are elegant. Individual turbines dropped across the Mid Cornwall 1 plan spoi l the visual aspect and we question their efficiency. Remember we are a tourist destination. Wind turbines are an eyesore and are totally uneconomical. They would not be installed 1 if were not for government grant.

Reasons for opposing more wind turbines responses Wind turbines are ugly, unsightly an d are often a distraction to motorists, they do not fit 1 in with the countryside, if we have to have windmills then build them to look like traditional windmill these would fit in better and could be habitable. Wind turbines do not appear to be contributing anything of use to us. Most of time not 1 working at all. Wind turbines have a bad visual impact on the countryside people come here to see and 1 people who live here enjoy, whilst being of of no benefit except financially to those whose land they are on. With the increase in turbines and solar farms within mid-Cornwall any further increase 1 will be detrimental to the wildlife and landscape, and we feel they have yet to prove their value in reducing household bills whilst increasing landowners profits who rent the space out to these companies none of which are Cornish.

One respondent made the following additional comments:

There are far too many wind turbines within St Enoder. No thought has been given to the bigger picture - they are all for individual applicants

Cornwall council should not have been so keen to tick the green box and get the subsidies from the Government - it has ruined Cornwall

In Cornwall there must be at least 200 turbines at an average cost of £1m each this would have gone a good way towards a power station where the source of power was reliable and not at the mercy of the weather conditions

When the turbines are turned off it takes power from the grid to start them again - where is the saving in that?

In relation to the minuscule amount that is donated to "local projects" it must be less than 0.1% of the total subsidies received by the landowner which are very high.

The turbines are manufactured overseas and then transported to the UK - again no savings there

Who is accountable for the maintenance of the turbines - there are pictures of abandoned turbines in the USA as no one will pay for the maintenance 20 years after the installation

These installations have had a terrible effect on neighbourhoods where neighbours who have been friends for many years are now at loggerheads and those relationships can never be mended

Please can we stop the progress of these turbines across the County - its is too late for us and our neighbours but someone needs to say "NO MORE"

3. If you oppose more solar farms, please set out your reasons for this?

Many respodents are against the building of more solar farms as they feel they are built on valuable agricultural land, are unattractive, spoil the beautiful Cornish views and there are plenty of the solar farms already. The full list of comments is below:

No of 3. Reasons for opposing more solar farms responses Taking up good farmland. 41 They look ugly/unsightly. 29 Enough solar farms already. 12 Spoils the natural views of the area. 9 I don’t know enough about the benefits of solar farms to oppose/support. 5 Solar panels must be on roofs not farm land. 5 They are destroying vast green lands. 3 1) Cornwall is about the land and farming is a big part of that. 2) Why use acres of farm 1 land for these panels? 3) The energy used to produce the panels must go a long way to alleviating any benefit. 4) Who maintains and cleans them? 1) The land is good land for agriculture that could be better used for growing crops and 1 meeting the future demand for food production. 2) They are an eyesore and can be bad for drivers if reflecting sun during parts of the day. 1. Why should we have them close to St Enoder when there are many open countryside 1 away from development areas i.e. Bodmin Moors. A "blot" on the landscape. The tourists do not wish to see fields and fields of glass 1 panels, but beautiful landscape. A whole space of land is taken up with these. At least with the turbines animals can still 1 graze. Agricultural land being used for solar panels, which will be needed to grow food in the 1 future (note). In the 1970's we had enough food in reserve if we stopped importing to last our country 9 weeks, now its 5 days. "You can’t eat electric". All the people pay for these eyesores with the green levy and taxes. But gain no benefit 1 whatsoever where is the cheaper electricity we were promised when they were first being built. The only ones who gain are the developers and landowners. Already a lot have been developed and alter view of the countryside, what living in this 1 location is all about. Apart from being unsightly the land would be better for growing crops for the expanding 1 population with set aside areas for wildlife. Because the land should be used for crops or livestock. Solar panels can be sited on 1 industrial buildings not green fields - it's ludicrous! Because there seems to be no way of subtley siting them. 1 Because they are always put onto good farm land. Should use waste/rubbish lane sites. 1 Benefit few for the amount of space used. 1 Biggest and ugliest waste of productive farmland ever. How will you feed all the people 1 that are going to live in the new houses being built everywhere? Blight on landscape/can be detremental to wildlife. 1 Blot on our landscapes. Fields should be green not grey! Only landowners benefitting. 1 Blot on the landscape - land lost forever and who benefits? - not the local community. 1

145

No of 3. Reasons for opposing more solar farms responses Blot on the landscape, covering good farm land. Companies outsite of the county reaping 1 the benefits while we have to put up with the eyesore. Both the turbines and solar farms already erected. Give the impression of just random 1 planting. Care for the view and landscape appear to be have been abandoned! If more solar farms and/or turbines are necessary area's with reasoanble cover or serious consideration should be given to some form of camoflage with any new projects. Complete waste of agricultural food producing land and potential damage to the 1 ecosystem. However solar farms on roofs (esp large industrial site roofs) are a really good move. Could be green in colour so as not to stand out so much. 1 Do not alter appearance of the land. 1 Electric is still expensive. Not helping reduce the cost of electric just more money for 1 those who can afford to build them. Enough in parish. More could be placed where not obvious in Mid Cornwall. 1 Enough is enough, what do our visitors think? Do they still find Cornwall attractive? 1 Eyesore. Owned by germans/greedy farmers. The Lake District is protected for 1 outstanding area of beauty why not Cornwall? Farm land is a food production facility not an energy production facility. We are only 1 55% self sufficient in food. All new buildings should use the total roof for photvortal production. Have a bad visual impact on the countryside people come here to see and people who 1 live here enjoy, whilst being of of no benefit except financially to those whose land they are on. Plus solar farms may be sited on productive agricultural land. Sadly the landowner may make more money from these than from crops/dairy farming. I do not consider this to be the best way to provide renewable energy. 1 I do not think that valuable agricultural land should be used for solar power when there 1 are 100's of m2 of space on buildings where panels could be put on roof tops. I don't like them. They are a blot on the scenery. 1 I don't oppose them but there needs to be a restriction on how many and where these are 1 placed. One of the main reasons I choose to live in Cornwall is for the green open landscape. I also think that these could have screening to block view without impacting on the efficiency of the panels so you wouldn't know the panels were there. I have not responded to solar farms. Do we need more???! 1 I think all solar panel should be on roofs. Combined solar panel with agricultural and 1 industrial buildings is in my view preferable to simple solar farms. I think is the way forward. 1 I think solar farms put up too many turbines and it ruins the b eauty of the landscape, plus 1 they are very noisy. I think they are a blot on the landscape the only winner is the landowner being paid 1 monies from the government. I have seen no cheaper electricity for householders by installing these things. I think they look terrible! Stick them on more houses, shops, hotels for cheaper price. 1 I think they spoil the roofs and countryside fields were meant to grow crops or feed 1 animals and solar fields are an eyesore.

146

No of 3. Reasons for opposing more solar farms responses I think we have sufficient solar farms, wind turbines, and other green energy projects in 1 the parish already. I think we now have enough in Cornwall. The grid can't take anymore, so that will mean 1 the construction somewhere of a large sub station (132,000 volts) to take the capacity of more solar farms and wind turbines that feed the national grid. I would prefer solar farms, but again I don't want to see farmland destroyed. 1 I would rather see grass in the fields although they are less obtrusive than the turbines. 1 If the power or money generated was used in the local area it would be different. Instead 1 the proceeds go to multi-national corporations. More than likely out of the county as a whole. Until they can be produced cheaper and with a smaller carbon footprint the whole idea is flawed. Impact on the environment - perhaps have more in areas like the new services on the 1 A30. Instead of using valuable farm land, existing roofs should be used but the cost needs to 1 be drastically reduced for the householder, with generous grants from the government. On new-builds solar panels on roofs should be a requirement. Irrrievable destruction of quality farmland which will be need for crops in the future 1 landscape change. It is not St Enoder Parish any more with those turbines stuck up everywhere. Solar farms 1 are taking agriculture lane. It is ruining the countryside and I believe that they are a health hazzard. Unsightly things. 1 It was said sheep could still graze on thse, but no evidence of that to date, they look 1 hideous. Just one per person. These should be used to create electricity for their own use, and not 1 being put up just to make money. Just too many solar farms, does it really help local people, are they locally sourced? 1 Keep Cornwall green and pleasant land. 1 Kills grass. How can crops survive when they are sheltered? 1 Land is for growing food. Solar panels can be fitted to houses and industrial units. 1 Land is required for agriculture! Tourists do not come to this area to see fields covered 1 with solar panels. Land should be for producing food. Panels can go on roof tops. They also look terrible. 1 Landscape impact, environmental effect, loss of farm land. 1 Large field space usage - we need space for crops. Dangerous to birds, wildlife. 1 Local people don’t get anything out off those turbines or solar panels. 1 Looking out on a beautiful landscape spoilt by huge wind turbines. 1 Looks for Cornwall. 1 Looks ridiculous on the landscape. Fields should be for farming/grazing of animals. 1 Money for greedy developers. 1 My own opinion they look absolitely hideous and spoil the landscape and when looking 1 at views etc all you focus on are those hideous things. No benefit to local people. 1 Not finanically viable and waste of farming ground. New houses should have solar 1 panels.

147

No of 3. Reasons for opposing more solar farms responses Nuclear power will in the end be the only solution! 1 Ok if on land that is not suitable for crops. Too much good land being used. 1 Only oppose on farmland, which should be food. Plus EMF is not fully understood re 1 health risks. Overall cost to rate payers etc too high. 1 Population grows if we convert everything to solar where do the crops get grown. Easy 1 way out for money. Reasonable distance from houses - feel that if more are put up then the community 1 surrounding properties should benefit ie free electricity. Reflection, visual appeal. 1 Ruin local wildlife. 1 Ruining our unique landscape, and mis-use of good farm land. 1 Ruins the countryside. 1 Shame to use greenfield sites use brownfield - and existing development areas - on roofs 1 - of large industrial buildings for example - or roadside edges. Sheep cannot graze under - 8m panels with paladin fencing. Good south facing land is 1 lost and no produce is produced. So much for rural landscape! 1 Solar farms are less inconspicuous than turbines. 1 Solar farms are uneconomical and an eyesore. 1 Solar farms take up agricultural land which, if not needed now, will be needed in the 1 future. Solar panels should go on roofs of all new properties (residential and industrial). Solar technology, by and large, is good. I use small panels for 12volt lighting - so I'm in 1 favour of panels on the roofs of buildings. We see several solar farms already contributing to the "grid". More, I feel, will start to decimate our green landscape. Take up too much space. 1 Taking up valuable farmland when farming is one of the main industries in Cornwall. 1 We will soon be buying all our food from other countries. The land is useful for growing food - panels can be sited elsewhere without stopping the 1 proper use of land. Why should tax payers line the pockets of develpers to produce intermittent energy. Use the land for food! Their placing is paramount. Visual impact should be minimal. Risk of 'flash' to motorists 1 elimiated. Sited only on non-productive land. Secured from damage/vandalism. There are already large fields of solar panels in Summercourt enough is enough. 1 There is only one winner. The person who has the facility on there land. No lower utility 1 prices only eye sores. They are a disgrace taking up precious green land. Should never have these anywhere in 1 Cornwall because Cornwall is far too small. They are noisy, they cause flicker and there are far too many in this beautiful county. 1 How long do you think before tourists start to realise, Cornwall is not as pretty as they thought? Then no tourism business. Why should we have to put up with something that devalues our homes? We have worked and saved all our lives to have our own home and some jobsworth decides that is immaterial. How can that be? I can also guarantee that there are no windfarms near any member of the Government or Council. Hierarchy who are likely to say YES. 148

No of 3. Reasons for opposing more solar farms responses They are NOT a real solution to our energy needs. The landscape and environment have 1 been RUINED by them). An ugly eyesore taking up good farming land. They are spoiling the countryside but the one built on China Clay land is very 1 appropriate. The land is not attractive to anyone. They are ugly and no proof of saving money or energy. Keep Cornwall beautiful as it is! 1 They look awful. Why can't they manufacture green or at least brown panels that absorb 1 as much energy as the hiddeous black ones. They look horrible and they are taking away agricultural land although they do graze 1 sheep in some of them. They look terrible and the only people to benefit are the farmers - our prices still keep on 1 going up. Local population does not benefit from the wind turbines. I believe we should make more effort to embrace the power of our local coastline - wave power and 'hot rock' initiatives. They look ugly and take up valuable agricultural land - use our moors instead. 1 They take up a lot more green space than wind turbines. 1 They're an eyesore that do very little for the environment. 1 They're spoiling the countryside and the look of Cornwall. 1 Think they are ugly and ruin the look of our countryside which should be used for 1 farming. This amount of electric made is of little use to grid, good land wasted. County is being 1 made to look ugly. This is not as bad as the turbines. However they are not as pleasing on the eye as green 1 fields. Too big, too close to populated areas. 1 Too many, blighting the area. Farmers just cashing in on the benefits from renting their 1 land. No corridors and land for wildlife. Too much land for produce being used will eventually effect food production. Wind 1 turbines less of impact only small plot. Totally spoil the landscape and look awful. Only OK if they do not spoil views. 1 Totally spoils the green countryside. Is an enormous eyesore and extremely ugly. 1 Ugly and seem like a waste of space (I know it’s not as its very green!!) (Farming 1 family). Ugly, ruin the land, reduces crop availability for food/forage production, benefits land 1 owner only not local population. Ugly. We don't need any more - pipeline is already at capacity for national grid supply. 1 Just an opportunity for landowners to make money. Unnecessary and a waste of land. Unsightly blot on the landscape. Why not force all 1 businesses and public buildings to have solar panels on all suitable roofspace. This would be very worthwhile to all. Unsightly much better to have houses with solar panels on especially all new houses that 1 are being built should have them. Unsightly use of land. They need to go on existing roofs. 1 Unsightly, no benefit to community and taking up valuable farm land. 1

149

No of 3. Reasons for opposing more solar farms responses Use of agricultural land that may be needed one day. Also concern that after a few years 1 these areas will be brown field and so residential planning will be easy to set and so the parish plan will be worthless. Use of good land. Uses too much land and looks unsightly. 1 Use precious agricultural land. Do not supply efficient energy in our climate - are 1 unsightly. Using good farming land this should be used for growing crops instead of importing 1 everything. Nothing tastes better than fresh vegetables. Vandalising the counties green fields. 1 Visually there are blots on the landscape - panels on property roofs are less intrusive 1 visually. Waste of green land, should be more efficient, look at German solar farms with HID 1 mirrors!! These we use are a blot on the land and should be on roofs. Waste of land. 1 We already have lots in the area, but better than wind turbines. 1 We already seem to have a disproportionately high number compared to other areas of 1 Cornwall. We are already at saturation point with them. Cornwall has already achieved more than 1 the objective set. We can't feed ourselves. We need the land for agriculture. Farmers should farm their land 1 not rely on subsidies. We don't oppose them as such, but just don't really support them as it is hard to see how 1 much energy is gained in the long run after the turbine has been made and erected etc. Is it a case of there is grant money available so everybody wants them rather than being a green energy issue? We should all be looking at renewable energy, for the future of our children. 1 When they first came to the area they were a good idea but now we feel they are over 1 doing the project. With solar panels it covers so much of the fields that they can't be used for anything else. 1 While the wind turbines are more up in the sky but at least you still use the land. Plus actually see the green fields. With the increase in turbines and solar farms within mid-Cornwall any further increase 1 will be detrimental to the wildlife and landscape, and we feel they have yet to prove their value in reducing household bills whilst increasing landowners profits who rent the space out to these companies none of which are Cornish. Blot on the landscape of what was once a beautiful county. Wrong to put on farmland. Spoiling the landscape. Visitors will not want to come to 1 Cornwall with fields covered in solar panels.

4. If you support more wind turbines, do you think there should be any restrictions on where they could be located?

Residents would prefer any future wind turbines should be built far away from housing or residential areas. Some residents support additional wind turbines, but some do not. The full list of comments are detailed below;

No of 4. Support more wind turbines responses Away from housing/residential areas. 43 Yes. 26 No. 25 Apply current planning with full environment impact assessments. 2 In the sea. 2 Not sure. 2 Avoid being too close to dwellings to avoid the 'strobe' effect and noise. 1 Away from built up areas. More could be put on wasteland. 1 Away from nearest dwelling and can't be seen. Away from roads. 1 Away from schools and play areas for childrens safety. 1 Away from the villages and public in general. 1 Brownfield/roadside areas first. NOT greenfield. 1 Careful siting is necessary to avoid noise and flicker for domestic properties. There is a 1 risk of having too many smaller turbines that don’t generate much - whereas one or two large turbines could achieve much more with less impact. Encourage development to allow local community to buy shares in turbines and use some of the profits to tackle fuel poverty. Common sense should be applied when assessing each application. There should be no 1 hard and fast rules. I do not have a problem with wind turbines or any view on this question. 1 I don't support them, but if they have to go up then they should be no closer than 3kms 1 from the nearest property (other than the owners). I think it should just be a sensible decision. 1 I would prefer them to be away from dwellings. They are more intrusive when they are 1 immobile. Keep them far enough away from homes - the 'Swoosh' noise is something I would not 1 tolerate. We do not object to wind turbines though, we call them 'The Grey Ladies' but we do not want them in our faces. Locations. Subject to planning approval. 1 More evenly spread out. 1 No more turbines means cheaper electric etc for us villages. 1 No more. IF they are 'off grid' under 50m high, over 2km from any home, have no local 1 objectors, do not take any subsidies, and do not need National Grid back up then, as in the USA in the early 1900s, it might work ( but I doubt anyone would put one up). No restrictions. 1 No spoil landscape. 1 No, as long as safe. 1 Not between buildings. Open country where not to many people affected. 1 151

No of 4. Support more wind turbines responses Not within 250 metres of residential parking. 1 Obviously must be sited as friendly to the community as possible. 1 Obviously. 1 Only noise near housing can't they be hidden by colour. 1 Only where they interfere with the functionality of existing structures. 1 Open disused premises should be used. 1 Out of sight. 1 Proximity to property on roads. 1 Really not sure on locations. 1 Reasonable distance from houses - feel that if more are put up then the community 1 surrouding properties should benefit ie free electricity. Restriction on the amount of turbines. 1 Right next door to anyone who has put one up next to his neighbours house is within 350 1 metres. Seeing where some have been built in recent years, it is obvious that very little 1 restrictions apply. Fill the finished clay boroughs with them. Make a landmark of them. Should not be located in local property. 1 Small units ok, but units over 40m are out of keeping with the landscape and an eyesore. 1 So many metres away from built up areas (bottoms should be painted green like 1 Victoria). Surely rules already in place. 1 The distances at the moment seem o.k. I would rather see one large turbine to lots of 1 smaller ones that only produce 10-15% of the power of the large ones. There are already guidelines for this. Some companies are poor at communication 1 though. There are planning rules for locations of turbines. Pre-decisions by councillors of and 1 repeated objects crowd meeting times for rational decision to be made. They need to be a certain distance away from buildings in case they fall over. Noise may 1 be an issue so not tooclose to residential areas. They should be far enough away from houses to not be interfering with views and to 1 prevent significant noise pollution. They should be in fields. 1 They should be on open farmland. 1 They should be sited in areas that cause the least visual or sound problems to 1 surrounding householders. They should go on top of the clay tips away from housing and very exposed. 1 Too many wind turbines already. 1 Uncertain as to how they would affect areas other than being an 'eyesore' to some people. 1 Wind turbines on high ground only. 1 Within 5 miles of houses but we DON'T support this. 1 Within reason. 1 Would need to find out more about these first. 1 Yes - closer to the landowners dwelling if possible, rather than their neighbours homes. 1

152

No of 4. Support more wind turbines responses Yes - not constructed indiscriminately. 1 Yes - not too close to dwellings, not too close to roads where they can be a distraction. 1 Yes in industrial areas. Not rural. 1 Yes they should be placed in small groups in areas where they will be least industrial. 1 Yes we want restrictions so where they could be located. Perhaps how many can be on 1 each farm. We don't want Cornwall over run by turbines or solar panels. Yes, consideration should be taken on location. 1 Yes, in open space wherever possible. 1 Yes, noise/house boundary should be enforced. 1 Yes, people should get the chance to oppose a turbine if they don't agree with the 1 location. Yes, please also make them as discreet as possible. 1 Yes, should not be located in areas of natural beauty. 1 Yes, there should be a requirement to site these at a minimum distance from any 1 household. Yes. The industrial clay area is ideal location for large wind farms. 1

5. If you support more solar farms, do you think there should be any restrictions on where they could be located??

Many residents to not support additional solar farms. However those residents who did support the provision of more solar farms suggested not near housing or on good agricultural land; as well as somehow hiding the panels so they are not distracting. The full list of comments are below:

No of 5. Support more solar farms responses No. 48 Yes. 27 Not near housing. 7 Yes - avoid good agricultural land. 5 Hidden in the landscape, not too visible, distracting for road users. 2 In fields with high hedges. 2 In fields with poor soil where it’s difficult to grow crops or not good to graze animals. 2 Not sure on locations. 2 Not to be seen. 2 All new houses should be fitted with them as standard, any new solar farms put on waste 1 ground only/as in clay tips/redundant. Any chosen chould not be detrimental to the rural area. 1 Apply current planning with full environment impact assessments. 1 Because the low level of solar farms, it could just be left to local opinions following 1 normal planning applications. Brownfield/roadside areas first (China Clays pits/sites?). 1 Can't see why they are not intrusive like wind turbines. 1

153

No of 5. Support more solar farms responses Don't want monsters on the doorstep! Smaller ones for built up areas, leaving the larger 1 ones in the country side. High enough to allow sheep to grace under them. 1 I think a percentage per acre should be agreed as far as 'parks' are concerned but not 1 single properties wanting roof panels. I think it should just be a sensible decision. 1 In field already being used. 1 In isolated areas or on top of industrial buildings. 1 More on the clay tips that face south. 1 No - in my opinion every house should have solar panels, we would all be self-sufficient 1 and produce far more energy than what we use, there's just no where to store it. No more turbines means cheaper electric etc for us villages. 1 No more. Over 2km from any home, have no local objectors, do not take any subsidies, 1 and do not need National Grid back up then, as in the USA in the early 1900s, it might work (but I doubt anyone would put one up), no subsidies, just for own generation. Not in and around residential/developed land. 1 Not on land that could otherwise be used as employment land or for housing, not on land 1 that has special/historic interest, not where wildlife would be adversely affected. Not really as I don't think they are intrusive. 1 Not to detract from cycling and walking routes. 1 On the clay tips which aren't suitable for food production and animal grazing. 1 Only hidden from view on unproductive land. 1 Only where they interfere with the functionality of existing structures. 1 Put them on wasteland/quarries. 1 Really restricted to roof tops only and industrial roofs in the main. 1 Restriction of number of farms. Particular attendtion to glare/reflection of sunlight to 1 drivers. Should be more camoflaged to fit in with surrounding area eg green in colour. 1 Solar farms on high ground. 1 Their placing is paramount. Visual impact should be minimal. Risk of 'flash' to motorists 1 eliminated. Sited only on non-productive land. Secured from damage/vandalism. There are plenty of roofs available. These should be used before any green fields are 1 wasted with solar panels on them. They should be on agri-roof and brownfield / low grade waste land. 1 Visually there are blots on the landscape - panels on property roofs are less intrusive 1 visually. Yes - not constructed indiscriminately. 1 Yes - not spoiling views, hidden from view as much as possible. Current solar farms 1 have been quite well positioned in this respect. Yes - subject to impact assessment. 1 Yes should be a reasonable distance from affected properties. 1 Yes they should be placed in small groups in areas where they will be least industrial. 1 Yes, consideration should be taken on location. 1

154

No of 5. Support more solar farms responses Yes, general opinion seems to be they should be out of sight - they're regarded as very 1 ugly. Yes, roof space is the obvious place, particularly on industrial, commercial and 1 agricultural buildings. Yes, should be unintrusive like one at Summercourt. 1 Yes. In rural areas would be more suitable. 1 Yes: not on green field sites. They should be put on old claywork tips. 1

6. Would you support a “community wind turbine,” 100% owned by local residents, with any profits reinvested into facilities for the local community?

48% (359 respondents) support a wind turbine in the parish, however 36% (272 respondents) disagree with such a project.

6. Support a “Community Wind Turbine” No of respondents Yes 359 No 272 This is of no concern to me 43 Don’t know/unsure 7 Maybe 7 TOTAL 688

Respondents who are not sure if they support a “community wind turbine” made the following comments: “More information required (x 2)”; “Depends on where it will be (x 2)”.

Respondents who did not support a “community wind turbine” made the following comments: “It depends. I am involved in 'proper' community energy schemes for the real benefit of local people. Most are not. Solar and renewable heat are better targets than wind turbines in our area ”; “So where's it going to be? In which case someone will be worried about noise and health issues”. “They already are!!”

Respondents made the following general comments: “From where I live I can see plenty of them in the distance.” “NOT for the benefit of electricity suppliers”. “Only if 100% of profit gets knocked off locals council tax.”

155

7. Would you support such a “community wind turbine,” if it was clearly visible from your property?

47% (352 respondents) would not support the installation of a visible community wind turbine in the parish, however 38% (286 respondents) would support it.

7. Support a Visible “Community Wind Turbine” No of respondents No 352 Yes 286 This is of no concern to me 39 Maybe 8 Don’t know/unsure 8 Yes/No 1 TOTAL 694

Respondents who did not support a visible “community wind turbine” made the following comment: “We can already see 13 wind turbines from our property”.

Respondents who did support a visible “community wind turbine” made the following comment: “Depends on how close” “Not too close” “As long as it’s not noisy and has no radiation omited? “As long as I was satisfied there was no noise pollution to affect my family”.

A respondent who is not sure if they support a visible “community wind turbine” made the following comments: “More information required (x 2)”;

The respondent who commented yes/no also commentated: “Depends on flicker that people talk about.”

Respondents made the following general comments: “It depends on how far away it is (x 2).” “Only if 100% of profit gets knocked off locals council tax.” “Depends what distance. Currently can see a number of wind turbines from our property but if too close would be concerned about noise levels rather than visual impact”.

SECTION 7: LANDSCAPE

Two surveys were not completed for this section.

1. Are there any specific landscape areas or features in our Parish, which you think should be given special protection?

Indian Queens Pit, Goss Moor area were areas highlighted by residents requiring special protection. The full list of comments are detailed below:

No of 1. Suggestions of specific landscape areas or features for protection responses Indian Queens Pit. 26 Goss Moor/trail. 22 No. 16 St Enoder Church. 8 Don’t know. 5 Kelliers. 5 All the locations detailed in the background information. 4 Pines Tip. 3 All bridleways, footpaths. 2 Goss Moor, Kellivers and remaining green open spaces in and between the main 2 settlements - as per 2008 findings. I think this is a bit late. 2 Only those protected already. 2 Parka Road fields. 2 Woodlands. 2 Agricultural land looking from Parka Road, St Columb Road, in the general direction of 1 Newquay. It provides a wonderful view and should be kept free of any future development. All green areas that we have now. Areas around the church, farmland and play areas. 1 Also Summercourt Fair field. All green fields and Castle An Dinas, Pit Lane. Stop using gradens for building plots, 1 rain water will soon have nowhere to go. All landscape areas. 1 All of it. Most of the sides of the roads look a mess especially the road through Higher 1 Fraddon - all the way up and round to the top. All of the green belty land. This is a beautiful parish - let’s keep it that way. There is 1 plenty of new housing in the surrounding areas ie Newquay/Quintrell. All our fields around villages. Churchyards should be kept neat and tidy. 1 All remaining space and agricultural land. 1 All woodland areas. Sadly I don't yet know enough about the area to give fair comment. 1 All! 1 Any face granite built buildings, churches, chapels, Victory Hall, Queen Pit, Keliers as 1 an open space, all open spaces in the parish.

157

No of 1. Suggestions of specific landscape areas or features for protection responses Any recreation areas, needed for local children and adults. 1 Archaeological monuments. 1 Area near motorcross track with paths (over A30 bridges) should be protected for 1 beauty! Gossmoor, etc. Areas around the Clay Trails - they protect lots of small animals and birds and provide 1 good walks. Any nature trails and cycle areas. Areas in between the villages to maintain their individuality. 1 Arrallas top cover - line of trees on the horizon (ps it may be in Ladock Parish). Wooded 1 areas of Penhale and Trefullock. As is, I think. 1 As much as possible. There soon won't be any green spaces left. 1 Bridleway and woodland areas near Indian Queens Cemetary and next to John Roberts 1 Bodywork premises. Ideal habitats for wildlife, walekrs and horseriders. Church and heritage asset, Godds Moor and rural farmland reserved. 1 Clay Pits. 1 Distant of glimpses of coastline. Horison views. Quiet lanes for cycling / walking / 1 horses pristine or wild areas for wildlife habitat. Existing farmland and hedges in the Parish. The quiet country lanes. 1 Farmland. 1 Field size to act as a windbreak and act as a natural corridor for wildlife. 1 Footpath on edge of Penhale Moor. 1 Footpath through Kelliers. 1 Footpaths need tobe preserved, well signposted and maintained and easy access (e.g. not 1 blocked or obstructed). Indian Queens Pit. Goenroundsen House. 1 Goss Moor and green belts/farms. 1 Goss Moor as it is one of the last remaining examples of wetland habitat in Europe and it 1 provides an area for recreation and escape. Goss Moor trail and open more cycle routes. 1 Goss Moor trail nice when I'm on my mountain bike. 1 Goss Moor/existing green space. 1 Green area adjacent to the path to Queens Pit. 1 Green area between St Columb Road and Fraddon. The parks. 1 Green area in centre of Summercourt - could be very much improved for community use. 1 Green areas should stay green. Footpaths and bridleways should stay and Claywork 1 roads and tracks that have gone should be replaced for horses, walkers and cyclists. Green land and old tin mine off Parka Road and all green land in the parish. 1 Hedgerows badly managed since the council stopped cutting. Now left to landowners 1 who cut too short and destroy all berries etc that wildlife require. Hedgerows should be included in historic landscape status and protected. I feel that more clay mining unused areas should be made into footpaths and walking 1 routes for all to enjoy. I really feel that the green areas need to be left free from development as much as 1 possible, and neatened up. 158

No of 1. Suggestions of specific landscape areas or features for protection responses I simply feel that any expansion, commercial or domestic, should NOT be built on any 1 green spaces until other (ie previously built on) land is used up. Our footpaths, bridleways, etc as they stand now are what makes us villages - rather than suburbs. I think Ocean should not be building the next 29 house development as all the 1 countryside views will disappear and more greenland is gone. If I am thinking of the right tip (above by-pass), Stamps Hill, Pines Tip. 1 Indian Queens Recreation Ground. 1 It's all special look after it, use it or lose it to concrete and tarmac. Think of our future 1 generations. John Julian old stores eyesore and dangerous site. Land opposite cemetary (old 1 allotments). Keeping footpaths clear and accessible at all times. 1 Litter is a huge problem. I never see it being cleared, so I pick up as I walk along the 1 road sometimes. Dog mess also a problem. Loosing farmland/green areas to areas around Higher Fraddon will spoil the landscape 1 areas. Should be protected to prevent over development. More bins on all the roads away from McDonalds and paid for by them! 1 Need to consider some of the older buildings for listed buildings status. Area around 1 Blue Anchor should have been conservation area, but has probably now changed too much. Green fields within core area, traditonal cornish hedge and traditonal stiles - rural character should be preserved. Newquay Road from South West Water to main road to Newquay. The woodland at 1 South West Water and the fields around it sustain many wildlife - deers, foxes, rabbits, many species of bird including buzzards, finches, etc. No development near the mine on Parka Road. Queens Pit = no more building nearby. 1 No specific, would just like to continue to see a little countryside in the distance when 1 looking out of the window. Not really, no farm land. 1 Our historic church. 1 Our milestones and floral features (would be great to have even more floral displays). 1 Our open gateways, laybys, Goss Moor. Mainly McDonalds rubbish. 1 Parts of Ruthvoes, the Drang. 1 Pedna Carne. 1 Penda Carne Hill opposite McDonalds as a place of beauty. 1 Pines Tip - only local area to really give a dog a good off the lead run. Goss Moor trail. 1 All SSSI's and SACs. Pit Rings. 1 Places are already protected. 1 Play areas. 1 Point Mine - Castle Dinas. 1 Probably is but can't think of any. 1 Public footpaths to be maintained for easy access. 1

No of 1. Suggestions of specific landscape areas or features for protection responses RE: background information. CC says Arrallas not AGLV. Can we clarify this? Different 1 planning applications say that Arrallas is an AGLV but the planning department says this is not the case, can this be clarified. Recreation Ground. Cemetary. 1 Surprised these issues were brought up in 2008 as the Goss Moor gets very little 1 attention and needs a dog waste bin. The entry areas to each village could do with a bit of a re-think. Small trees shrubs 1 nearby with flower beds maybe? The field used for car parking for the Summercourt Fairs..Also areas which are AGSV 1 and AGLV. The Goss Moor - great for walking and cycling which should be encouraged more. 1 The grass verges of out county are being lost (increasingly fast) by the enormous farm 1 machinery driven on them, not to mention the constant state of mud all over the lanes which of course is never cleared up. The grass verges should be kept as such and not used for the parking of vehicles 1 advertised for sale. The green areas should be protected. 1 The hill overlooking Pedna Carne and owned by Imer ys has been planted out with shrubs 1 and trees and is abundant with wildlife, rabbits, deer, foxes, birds and is extensively used by local people for leisure and dog walking, however we are sometimes plagued by off road motorcyclists who can access the hill via the footbridge over the A30. The Imerys Pathway from the Kissing Gate is now so overgrown it is hard to walk down 1 there at all. Could it not be trimmed? The Kelliers as it is very close to residential property (ie Hanover Parc). All green belt 1 areas. The land around the cemetary, also Queens Pit, recreation park. 1 The local landscape should be protected. We have wonderful open views, valleys and 1 hills, these should be protected or visitors to our county will stop coming. The old road by Kingsley Village by the petrol station used by pack horses. 1 The quiet lanes and drove roads such as Penscawen, Pencorse, and St Enoder 1 Churchtown to Fraddon. The view from Pencorce across to Cubert and Crantock, view from Castle-an-Dinas (not sure if this is in St Enoder). The Thomas Playing Field. 1 The view opposite the village hall. It is the only place left in Fraddon where you can see 1 the countryside. The whole landscape should be protected. Visitors have started commenting on the 1 amount of turbines, etc. Carry on like this and the Cornish tourist industry will follow mining and fishing into oblivion. There is another area to the south east of Summercourt that is a wildlife conservation 1 area designated by Cornwall Council. But no designated under European ruling for financial support in the same manor. Those designated already. The Cornish landscape is precious. 1 Too late for Penhale Round. All milestones to be protected. 1 Trevarrren, west end of Goss Moor, area in and around St Enoder Church. 1

160

No of 1. Suggestions of specific landscape areas or features for protection responses Waste bins in laybys signage - take litter home / dispose of responsibly. McDonalds 1 waste is appaling. We have some of the best views from Fraddon, left of Parker Road, stunning, when land 1 is gone, its gone forever. Wetland areas. Trefullock Moor. Important and disapearing wetlands. Supporting a 1 diverse variety of life. Woodland. There is little woodland in the area. The woodland on both sides of Barton 1 Lane - from St Columb Road to St Enoder Church is ancient and unspoiled.

2. What positive changes do you think could be made to improve the landscape and environment of the area?

There were a variety of suggestions by residents that they felt would help to make a difference to the landscape and environment of St Enoder Parish. The full list are detailed below:

No of 2. Changes to improve the landscape and environment responses More dog mess bins/signs. 4 More trees should be planted. 4 No more houses/housing estates. 3 Remove the wind turbines. 3 Keep them as green areas/belt. 2 None. 2 Remove solar farms/panels. 2 A few more pavement/roadside trees. 1 A limit on building, esepcially industrial. 1 Access from Trevarren up through Kelliers was quite poor, especially wet weather not 1 used for a while, could have done with laying a better track up through. ALL drains up and down the main road in Fraddon are either filled with sludge or have 1 greenery growing out of them. One night of heavy rain and we will be flooded! More bins = less rubbish on and around area. All lanes up to Pedna Carne to be trimmed and tidied up and up ad over the A30 bridge. 1 It is a disgrace spoiling a lovely area - bins needed in lane. Alterations to the footbridge barriers to deter motor cyclists who damage the newly 1 planted trees. A more proactive initiative by McDonalds to retrieve their litter from the roads and hedgerows. An eyesore plot of land between house opposite doctors. 1 Any development should be slow and in keeping to maintain the four villages. 1 Better and more paths - Goss Moor. More plants and shrubs. 1 Better landscape schemes. Submitted with planning. Submissions which should always 1 look to enhance surroundings. Better recognition of now pretty it is around here. Create 'quiet lane' sites. 1

161

No of 2. Changes to improve the landscape and environment responses Bins all way along Goss Moor trail especially opposite Gnome World where dog's mess 1 is at its worst and there isn't a single bin! Fines around Indian Queens for people who don't pick up their dog mess. Bins at entrance to Goss Moor trail so that people would hopefully be less likely to litter 1 and dispose of dog poo properly. Cap development. Utilise council tax to improve litter/fly tipping. No development on 1 existing green land. Certainly by protecting what we already have, ensuring that new buildings are in keeping 1 with the area, solar and wind farms are never allowed to dominate the landscape. Hopefully, this will encourage all parishioners to value and respect what we have. Clean up waste tips of Imerys. 1 Clear up areas that are half developed like area opposite St Columb Road surgery. 1 Close down McDonalds, grass over the motorway. 1 Community working together to be proud of where we live. Clear up litter and have 1 small community led garden areas. The farmed landscape will and can only be maintained if agriculture and its diversified incomes can be afforded. Continual litter picking and grass cutting ie look at small area at the corner of the 1 Drang/opposite Victory Hall!! Control property residential planning permissions. Don’t be led by the nose by central 1 government 'guidelines'. These are NOT directive. Enofrce your own guideliens - £250,000 properites are NOT affordable. Even if the application claims they are. Develop or naturalise brownfield sites. Restrict light pollution from modern retail 1 developments. Allow free disposal of waste from households even if it building waste to prevent flytipping. Not letting developments go ahead if objections valid. Develop the land adjacent to the Mowie before wind turbines or travellers take over. 1 Difficult one as it's housing that changes the landscape and views. 1 Dog mess is still an issue, especially on the pavements in Indian Queens and St Columb 1 Road. Maybe install a special bin. Dog mess laws reinforced. 1 Don't know. 1 Drains in area are not looked after properly (Fraddon) - hedgerows not maintained close 1 to footpaths (Fraddon). Ensure McDonalds do "litter bins" throughout the parish to pick up their discarded 1 packaging. Close "through roads" to traffic using them as cut throughs. Ensure Kingsley Village traffic is confined to A30, not arriving through the village. Especially St Francis Road, turn some of the grass area into parking so the grass does not 1 look untidy and littered for a lot of time. Everyone have a good tidy up of their own properties. Grassed aea at Fairview Park 1 sorted for kids to use. Fill in old china clay pits and reduce the tips to a reasonable height. 1 Foliage growing onto pavements needs to be cut back and litter regularly cleared. 1 For derelict land to be built on or converted so it's not such an eyesore. 1

162

No of 2. Changes to improve the landscape and environment responses Get rid of all the rubbish people have dumped at the bottom of Fairview Park, either 1 build more houses there or turn it back into a field again. Or it could be a car park for all the residents/community to use, might get rid of some of the cars parked on the roads. Dog poo bins are needed in the villages, St Columb Road, Indian Queens, Fraddon. Fed up me and my kids having to walk round it all the time/or my kids running through it! Get rid of knotweed. 1 Get rid of McDonalds (litter). 1 Get rid of the incinerator. 1 Get the farmers to maintain the hedgerows so that we can enjoy the veiws. Want to walk 1 through the community and take some civic pride. Grass cuttings taken way! Weeds cleaned away fr om kerbs. Grass cut back to reveal kerb 1 edges. More seats around for the elderly. Potholes dealt with. Grass down the clay heaps. 1 Grass verges cut on a more regular basis. Ditches cleared more regularly. 1 Have not lived here long enough to comment. Perhaps more access to sport 1 facility?/areas. Hedgerows and grass areas to be cut regularly especially adjoining pavements. Still a 1 large amount of dog mess around - a hazard for childrens. Hedgerows kept tidy, potholes filled in. 1 Hedges and grass beside pavements. 1 Hedges to be cut back, by council or landowners. 1 Help from the Parish Councils to set up 'Friends of' groups to tidy, plant, and garden their 1 village. Encourage communities to work together to keep their village looking smart. I refer back to waste collection of this was better and more organised and more dog mess 1 bins, therte would be less fly tipping dog mess left on roads etc. Now I know its down to us as well and you get your exceptions but that is just my view. I think a lot has already been done. I would like to see more done to make the roads safe 1 for cyclists. I would welcome the planting of evergreen woodland areas that could be opened up to 1 the public for woodland walks and recreation! Imerys closed access to Pines Tip from Stamps Hill. They promised to re-open it - given 1 what! Improve dog mess. Know my friend gets disturbed late at night at top of Drang. Kids 1 hang out there and are quite often very loud. Improvements to the local park - more facilities there. 1 Its fine but the general area needs cleaning up. 1 Keep the fields and landscape green. 1 Keeping the walking areas free from weeds and debris, the trees and hedges trimmed and 1 litter clearing. Landscape of old China Clay areas. The area near Penda Carne (big hill). 1 Landscape roundabouts but not with flowers with japanese styles stones, etc (low 1 maintenance). Landscape should be looked after properly. 1 Leave it alone! 1

163

No of 2. Changes to improve the landscape and environment responses Leave it to its nature beauty for people who come after us, as our fore fathers did for us. 1 Leave well enough alone. The area is being over built now. Trees and shrubs could be 1 planted on approaches to villages. Less fly tipping in quiet country lanes. 1 Less litter - provision of more litter bins. Unsatisfatory that on refuse collection days 1 public are allowed to leave rubbish outside in black plastic bags instead of using wheelie bins. Less wind turbines, solar farms. Protection of natural areas of beauty and historical 1 interest. Let farmers keep the landscape as it is. 1 Maintaining whats already here, there is no need to waste community money. 1 Make better places for walking. 1 Make McDonalds pay for clean up of their waste. 1 McDonalds need to employ more litter pickers over larger area as they appear to be the 1 main culprit. McDonalds pick up all the rubbish in field around St Columb Road - Parka Road. More 1 rubbish bins in the village. More assorted trees on Fraddon Hill. 1 More bins and the kids at night can't seem to find them. 1 More bins in parks and around village, as a lot of general litter from McDonalds around. 1 More use could be made of park by pit, put bench back that was set fire to. Give kids some thing to play on. More bins, benches. Enforcement of penalities regarding dog fouling. Public toilets 1 especially in leisure areas. More dog waste bins on the Goss Moor trail. 1 More dog waste bins. Businesses should be more responsible for their customers ie 1 broken glass near pubs, fast food containers. More flower/shrub planting. Property owners encouraged to give premises a lick of paint 1 especially shops. More communal open spaces. Parks for children. Designated dog exercise areas. Dog poo bins. More flowers and gardens to be dug around area. 1 More green spaces than just fields (ie maintained flower beds and bees/shrubbery). 1 More litter bins. More flowers and trees. 1 More litter picking. Verges and footpaths need more attention. 1 More littercollectors. One man does a good job but we only see him every 2-3 weeks. 1 Perhaps McDonalds could pay for more as a lot of the rubbish is theirs. More maintenance of footpaths, more dog poo bins, more flowers and communal gardens 1 would be nice. More play area for local people. Pond with benches and green space. 1 More play areas, gardens/open amenity space. 1 More regular tree/hedge cutting down My Lords Road. 1 More reshaping of the China Clay tips to make the hills more natural, and open some of 1 these landscape areas up for access by the public and local people, so that the views from the hills can be appreciated by many.

164

No of 2. Changes to improve the landscape and environment responses More rubbish bins in laybys in the hope that people will use them rather than just throw 1 stuff out the windows. More street cleaning, litter picking, etc. 1 More trees in the grassy areas alongside the roads. Trees on the lower part of Fraddon 1 Hill would enhance the ambience and give some protection from winds. More trees to be planted in newly developed areas. It softens the hard landscaping and 1 helps purify the air. Also good for wildlife especially birds. Need more shopping area and supermarket. 1 No further clay waste tipping on land in the parish. 1 No large scale development for housing - keep it rural. 1 No more developments of houses, solar farms or wind turbines. 1 No wind turbines. Re: planting of the clay tips no more open cast mining to be permitted. 1 Not too much building. 1 One or two houses could be asked to tidy their properties as they have become eyesores. 1 People should take rubbish home not throw out car windows. 1 Pick up litter, litter awareness programme in schools. 1 Plant more trees and get Western Greyhound bus garage moved to a more rural location. 1 Playgrounds, parks, trees, gardens. 1 Prevention from building more wind farms and solar farms - large housing estates. 1 Publicity for services to collect "large" rubbisg to discourage fly tipping. St Enoder or 1 local contact for swift action on illegal tipping. Regular litter picks - more public bins and McDonalds doing a daily pick up. No public 1 bins around only dog poo ones. Regular road sweeping. Better planting. 1 Regular sweeping of pavements to remove debris to stop it being swept into and blocking 1 drains. Ensuring hedges do not obstruct pavements and roadways. Remove all the solar farms and wind turbines and associated new overhead cables. More 1 open spaces for dog walkers. Remove government inspectors from planning process. Parish Council larger role in 1 decisions. Restrict removal of hedges. 1 Roadside hedges trimmed and maintained at appropriate times of year. 1 Seating (picnic benches) to encourage people to use Goss Moor as an area to visit for a 1 day and also more bins. St Dennis Roundabout is disgusting being used as a rubbish tip. Very visable from the 1 road. Stop adding any more turbines etc! 1 Stop letting firms like ELF Energy (biogas) ruin the area. 1 Stop rubbish and flytipping. Take away rubbish from McDonalds is often thrown out of 1 car windows when finished onto our roadsides. Stop the Council from charging money to dump rubbish at the dump for home owners in 1 cars. This will mean more fly tipping?

165

No of 2. Changes to improve the landscape and environment responses Stop the wind turbines from being erected everywhere! They are a blot on the landscape 1 and are cropping up everywhere. Solar farms are also not needed. If the panels were green, then they wouldn't stand out as muh but nevertheless, hideous! Support organisations who promote this aspect of life and encourage them to have 1 volunteer wardens to control fly tipping and better diversity recording and conservation use people on community orders for these purposes. Take down all wind turbines down. Protect woodland areas. 1 Take down turbines. The new "service station" entering Cornwall is dreadful. It could 1 have been truly wonderful and local like Kingsley Village but instead is McDonalds and chain store coffee bar! Teach the residents how to maintain their gardens!! 1 The area is heavily built up already so more communal areas would offer much needed 1 space. The continued landscaping of the china clay waste 'pyramids'. 1 The grass verges could incorporate flower beds the approach to, and the streets of, Truro 1 are a profusion of flowers but there is nothing in the villages once the spring daffodils have faded. Let's decorate the villages with flower beds and hanging baskets and give people a village to be proud of. The grass verges of out county are being lost (increasingly fast) by the enormous farm 1 machinery driven on them, not to mention the contant state of mud all over the lanes which of course is never cleared up. Farmers are supposed to be the custodians of our countryside - so they should be made to respect it and clear up the appalling mess they leave behind. I have an acquaintance who worked for the River Authority and when they had to use machinery they were made to clear up afterwards. The landscape - no turbines. The environment - much less traffic. 1 There is a group of people in the area that clean up and maintain public areas, more 1 support for them. This large population needs open spaces, football pitches, cricket field, leisure tennis 1 court. We have got to have at least 2500 to 3000 children under 18. they need outside space. Tidy up care and attention. 1 To STOP building on landscape. Residents to get together to collect litter reporting dogs 1 and owners re. poo! Take pics and report to police. Trees to camouflage the solar farms at Trefullock etc. 1 Trim the hedgerows. 1 Turn Kelliers into nature park. 1 Various Cornish hedges are filled with weeds and some very very scruffy looking 1 dwellings could be vastly improved with a lick of paint. Not sure how the Council could affect this though. Things have definitely improved since 2008. We (try to) use the footpaths but hey should be a) properly waymarked throughout. b) 1 Cut back so you can actually walk. c) Promoted locally to use - maps/guides/notice boards. d) Farmers and landowners should be prosecuted if they obstruct/remove. We enjoy living in Summercourt and are happy with the way things are. Please don't 1 spoil it. With local changes at the local (Newquay) refuse tip, this could impact on the local area 1 eg flytipping, which would be devastating o the lcoal area and local wildlife. 166

3. Which aspects of the landscape of St Enoder do you consider it is most important to conserve.

Residents supported the suggested landscape aspects. Top priorities included conversation of woodland 84% (628 respondents); unspiolt public views of the countryside 83% (620 respondents); green areas between developed areas 81% (607 respondents); and rivers and streams 79% (591 respondents).

Landscape Aspect No of responses Woodland 628 Unspoilt public views of the countryside 620 Green areas between developed areas 607 Rivers and streams 591 Trees 578 The farming landscape 566 Hedges 525 Grass verges 440 Field patterns 407 Ridges and skylines 372 Mining features 340

One respondent who supports mining features made the following comment: “If historic.”

4. Do you have any ideas as to how we could enhance The Kelliers as a “countryside area?

Residents gave various ideas on how to improve the Kelliers area including picnic areas, benches – this could attract people to make more use of the area; bins for dog waste and litter would also be welcome. Unfortunately a lot of residents do not know the location.

No of 4. Ideas to enhance The Kelliers as a "countryside area" responses Don't know/don’t know location. 16 Picnic area. 15 No. 9 Benches. 7 Dog mess bins. 6 Improve cycle tracks, seating areas, ponds, etc. 3 Pathways. 3 Clearer footpaths. 2 Footpaths. 2 Litter bins. 2 Nature pond. 2 Play area. 2 Upkeep it more. 2 A bowling green. Public toilets. 1 A cycle path for childrens safe practise and used by local schools as a nature study and 1 encourage their input. A forest school setting? 1 167

No of 4. Ideas to enhance The Kelliers as a "countryside area" responses A good footpath. Make sure streams are kept running. 1 A place to rest and breath, take visitors and know it will always be there. 1 A proper nature trail eg things to look for - birds, animals, plants, etc. similar to Porth 1 Reservoir. A wildlife park with a pond, a countryside area. 1 Advertising. Natural play area for children. Designated walks. 1 As a countryside area it should be kept as so and not let these people trying to put 6 1 pitches for travellers allowed to do it! Its all wrong. Soon be travellers everywhere! At the moment, the Kelliers is largely unspoilt and relatively undisturbed, making it a 1 wonderful wildlife reservoir. There are small areas with amazing moorland flowers - like the Goss Moor. I would like to see it managed primarily for wildlife rather than for people to work their dogs! Be better signposted and better paths in the winter gets terribly muddy. 1 Better advertisement - many people don't know they can use it. Footpaths, picnic 1 benches. Build on it. 1 Carry out the plans. 1 Clean up and maintain regularly and do not allow a potential gypsy site opposite/next to 1 it. Clean up lanes very muddy in winter and very rough for walking. 1 Clean up the area and build a new school. Which is a more suitable site than the present 1 one? Close "Flying Fish Seafood" who blight the area with litter and bad odours and they are 1 now attracting flocks of seagulls. Contact wildlife groups about setting up conservation zones (eg bats, birds, wild flowers, 1 etc). Could it be turned into a "country park" similar to Great Notley Country Park in Essex 1 which combines footpaths & cycle tracks with play areas for children and open countryside? Designate footpath at present overgrown wildlife habital area. Clean undergrowth - stock 1 fence perimeter. Develop a little there. 1 Develop as a country park with leisure facilities for all the family. 1 Don’t know the area but it should be protected. 1 Duckpond with a seating area, small coffee outlet, greened area for picnic. 1 Education sessions about nature. 1 Employ a countryside ranger. Involve the National Trust. Restrict night-tinme access. 1 Create and maintain biking track similar to one at Lanhydrock. Plant trees. Or maybe a green cemetary - tree planted for each person buried? Ensure those that live there, keep dogs under control. 1 Everything being done is great! 1 First put a car park at the front of it so people can be there safely. Clean it up and put 1 walks around it. Seats would be a problem with no security. Forest School. 1

168

No of 4. Ideas to enhance The Kelliers as a "countryside area" responses Garden Centre for employment plus country crafts centre. 1 Garden maintained. 1 Habitat sites and homes etc (bat boxes). Natural seating from fallen and/or felled trees. 1 Have a car park where residents car park for free. 1 Have a good tidy up, would be nice to walk around safely. 1 Have a range of habitats to encourage good diversity of flora & fauna. 1 I would go along with the footpath idea nice evening walk. 1 I would welcome the planting of evergreen woodland areas that could be opened up to 1 the public for woodland walks and recreation! I'd be quite happy with what the Council are proposing. 1 If it is to be open to dog walkers PLEASE supply bins and signs to encourage people to 1 clear up also rubbish bins (I am a dog owner)! Improve pathways. Placing bins. 1 Improve with footpaths and seating areas. Involve the local community in the 1 enhancement, therefore ensuring they look after their space. Improved footpaths a necessity, especially in winter. 1 Introduce a small nature reserve with additional seating. 1 I've not seen the area but planting trees and having seats and rubbish bins and shrubs 1 would look nice. Keep any trees. 1 Keep as rural as poossible. 1 Keep it natural. 1 Keep tractors and horses off the footpaths. It's a mess and almost impossible to walk 1 down to Trevarren. Lake - park for walking and recreation. 1 Leave it alone. 1 Leave parts of it wild for animals and insects, not all manicured. 1 Litter/motorbike free. 1 Make it part of Indian Queens half marathon, people would run through it and see more 1 of it. Make sure the gypsies are not allowed to move in a the unapproved campsite being built 1 next to me. Make the road better to get through. 1 Maybe open up an area and put seating in and a bbq. Nothing posh, just stuff that works 1 (half 45 gd drum on blocks). Small play park, swings, decent slide and seesaw. Maybe picnic bench, and a small park for children age 7 and under. 1 Monitored sports facility? 1 Mountain bike trails. 1 Move residential. 1 Nature trails with guides and involve local schools with maintenance, planting - so 1 children learn about their local flora and fauna hands on. Nest boxes etc to attract wildlife.. 1 Never been down to the Kelliers always too worried about the dogs but would love to go. 1

169

No of 4. Ideas to enhance The Kelliers as a "countryside area" responses Never been there, but will definitely visit now I know its there. 1 No - it should have been the New Indian Queens Primary School. 1 No - should be residential fill in area as it can't be seen from anywhere within area. 1 No comment. Don't know where this is! But maybe have willow structures. 1 No ideas but sounds great. 1 No, it was landscaped years ago, but maintained? 1 Not to allow any residential or industrial development in the said area. 1 Open it up more - keep grass - hedges cut - cycle route. 1 Opened up and made easily accessible - planting of broad leaf trees and establishing wild 1 flower areas. Opening footpaths, clear signs and open spaces. Open community field to encourage 1 organised groups to use and become more of a community again. Paths. 1 Plant a meadow, shelters. 1 Plant fruit trees with local families with date plaques to mark the event so it is 1 remembered and respected. Plant shrubs and trees. 1 Plant trees and build a pond or lake with seating around it. 1 Plant trees and make it into a park area. 1 Planting wildflowers. Seating. Perhaps snacks bar to encourage people to spend time 1 there. Plants/water to encourage animals. 1 Pond for wildlife and encouraging birds. Maybe a 'bird hide' for bird watching. 1 Rubbish bins. Activity area for children. Hold events at the location. 1 Seed with meadow grass and flowers with bog flowers where appropriate. Maintain 1 footpath and bridleways. Do not permit any path/road widening. Sign post it if it’s for public use. Never heard of it. 1 Signage of footpaths / map of layout to encourage more use. 1 The footpath to Trevarren needs hardcore near the bottom as really muddy. 1 Tidy the rubbish from verges. 1 To maintain footpaths, cycle trail, good easy parking encourage wildlife dog poo bins, 1 rubbish bins. Toilets. 1 Turn the Kelliers into a nature parki/reserve where families could spend time (picnics), 1 nature and wildlife encouraged. Planting trees to encourage birds. Viewing areas. Communal bbq facilities. 1 Walks. 1 Water features, fishing lakes, water sports areas. 1 Wildlife lakes and ponds, planting trees, gated childrens play area for young children. 1 Wooden play equipment, cycle path. 1 Woodland walkways. Make it a family area. Adventure playground. Cycle paths. 1 Yes chain the benches down! Please bench vanished by Indian Queens Pit? 1

5. Do you think any other areas in the Parish could be managed for the benefit of the community and/or the protection of wildlife?

Many residents were unable to suggest areas within the Parish which could be enhanced by protecting wildlife which would in turn be of use of the community. However there were some suggested locations across the Parish. Full list of comments below:

No of 5 Areas which would benefit of the community and/or the protection of wildlife responses Don't know. 9 No. 7 Goss Moor/trail. 4 All areas should be for the benefit of the community and wildlife. 3 Queens Pit. 3 The hill overlooking Pedna Carne. 2 A new Wesley Playschool is needed, and it could be a multi centre as well. The Hall at 1 the moment does not have play facilities outside and have too many classes! A small woodland on the old A30, 300 metres west of Penhale Farm. This has been 1 neglected since it was planted in 1995 and is often used for flytipping. Access to redundant clay spils. Opening up of mountain bike trails in clay spoils. 1 Promotion of footpaths and walks e.g. route/guide maps/walks. This would encourage people, families or groups to explore which would lead to improved general well-being. Across Penhale Moor. 1 All county lanes should have protection against weed spray and flail mowing. Ues proper 1 hedgelaying instead. All of the green fields should be used either for farming or public enjoyment - wildlife 1 meadows with picnic areas perhaps. Better signage at Goss Moor Trail! 1 By motorcross track with woodland. 1 Clay tip areas used for wildlife areas and beauty spots after landscaping. 1 Could something be done at St James Green? For wildlife I mean. 1 Definitely as above for wildlife. Putting green/parks/baseball court/nets. Volley ball 1 court. Develop the land adjacent to the Mowie before wind turbines or travellers take over. 1 Dog poo bins on Goss Moor. Penhale Moor footpath plus the whole footpath it joins to 1 (most of it is unaccessible). Dog poo boxes on Gnome World bridleway. 1 Farmland and woodland strips and walking routes. 1 Fields - no more solar farms. This must stop birds foraging on the land. Churchyards 1 could be kept neat and tidy. Garden Centre for employment plus country crafts centre. 1 Goss Moor for butterflies. 1 Grass area opposite Doctors Surgery could be made into more parking to get cars off the 1 road. Grass verges. 1 I would like to see low and wet areas excavated to create wildlife pools and carp pools. 1

171

No of 5 Areas which would benefit of the community and/or the protection of wildlife responses If you build more houses and take up the green fields there will be nowhere for the 1 wildlife to go on hedge or trees. In Barton Lane, Fraddon, where I live I would like to see a pavement possibly part way 1 down to where a footpath leads off to St Enoder, this lane is enjoyed by dog walkers, horseriders and cyclists. A lower speed limti or perhaps making it a "Quiet Lane". It would be great to join the villages to the Goss Moor with a "countryside" rather than 1 "roadside" cycle track. The Pit, cemetaries in the Parish can be managed for wildlife. Land between Harvenna Heights and proposed development of land behind Indian 1 Queens School. We feel should be made into a park for the local community, nearest park is one mile away. Crossing - two very busy main roads. Lane between Indian Queens Pit and Higher Fraddon. 1 More could be made of the Goss Moor and its cycle paths. 1 More protection for bat roosts - hedgehogs. 1 Narrow tracks of land alongside each watercourse in order to establish wildlife corridors 1 throughout the parish. Pines Tip need to be managed for dog walkers and wildlife. 1 Pines Tip. 1 Playing fields, verge off St Francis Road. 1 Public footpaths, more dog poo bins. 1 Public path signsor a map at location showing pathways, Queens pits etc. 1 Seek advice of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, what would be the best to preserve the flora and 1 fauna as well as the public interest (recreation). Signage for wild animals on Moorland Road and Blackacre. 1 Some of the public country pathways don't go anywhere. 1 Take my kids up to Fraddon mountain, which I suppose is up Pedna Carne Hill, the 1 woods there are lovely and we go den building there, but I think they are uncared for, they are often covered in stinging netteles, would be a good area to protect. The area by the power station approaching St Dennis. 1 The area in and around Higher Fraddon / Pit Lane has had a huge decrease in wildlife 1 since we have lived here, the bat and owl population has visibly decreased, I am sure this is due to development. The Goss Moor. Trefullock Moor. St Enoder Church. The London Inn should have been 1 protected after doing some research part of the buildings dates the late 1600 and the rest 1720/50. The Millennium Gardens needs more flowers and trees for butterflies and bees. 1 The Queens allotment field could be protected as an asset for a future public building (? 1 with gardens for community use). There used to be a nice area between Burton Lane and Penhale it has been ignored. 1 Trefullock? 1 Trevarren. West end of Goss Moor and around St Enoder Church. 1 Trevarron Trackway to Indian Queens station approach footpath almost impassable due 1 to the chip carts and waste oil dumped in hedge. Unused clay mining areas. 1 We need more trees. 1

172

No of 5 Areas which would benefit of the community and/or the protection of wildlife responses We need to explore more, only been here for around 11 months. 1 Woodland. There is little woodland in the area. The woodland on both sides of Barton 1 Lane - from St Columb Road o St Enoder Church is ancient and unspoiled. Yes of course! Leave it to someone more knowledgeable to make that decision. 1 Yes, keep areas clear so you don't have to walk off path because of overgrowth. 1 Yes, the area on Goss Moor where old signal box used to be from Old Bridge over A30 1 to doctors yard following old railway line. Now be used by bikes as scramble area. Lot of rubbish being left there. It could make great area for familes, picnic area if developed properly.

6. Does your family ever use local footpaths and bridleways?

37% (276 respondents) occasionally use Parish bridleways and footpaths, 34% (254 respondents) regularly visit them, however 50 respondents stated they use them but did not specify how often.

Regularly Occasionally Never Yes Footpaths / bridleways 254 276 100 50

Two respondents who never use the local footpaths or bridleways made the following comment: “But want to”.

7. Have you experienced any problems with footpaths in St Enoder Parish?

Many residents do not consider there are any issues with the Parish foothpaths. However, some are not happy with the dog mess around the area, and the lack of footpath maintenance – ie overgrown/get muddy. Full list of comments below:

No of 7. Problems with footpaths in St Enoder Parish responses No. 45 Dog mess. 21 Not maintained, therefore get muddy/overgrown. 11 Could do with a dog poo bin outside the gates and within on the Goss Moor Trail. 3 Litter. 3 Yes - lack of. 2 All areas have problems with general litter/McDonalds litter/and dog mess. Also the 1 Council should consider the use of wheelie bins and not black bags which are left out to be ripped apart by seagulls and rodents and cats (come into the 21st century). Animals ruin many of the paths for walkers ie Treverren to Tallsil. 1 Around A30 roundabout. No footpath and grass verge still has large tyre incidents from 1 its construction. No warning signs of pedestrians to traffic. Attacked by dangerous dogs running loose around Penhale Farm. 1 Being chased by horses on footpath at Pit Lane. 1 Bridleways boggy during wet season. 1

173

No of 7. Problems with footpaths in St Enoder Parish responses Dog faeces at playing field and on Goss Moor trail, also over most footpaths and 1 pavements. People need to be fined to have any hope of changing this. Dog mess and horse mess. Various areas around the village. 1 Dog mess at top of Drang. 1 Dog mess on the Goss Moor is awful. However the lack of bins does not encourage 1 people to actually pick up their dogs mess. Dog mess, as a dog owner we clean our mess but regularly people don't. 1 Dog mess, glass rubbish - through Queens Pit on road from Moorland Road to village, 1 road from Victory hall to school. Dog poo bins on Goss Moor. Penhale Moor footpath plus the whole footpath it joins to 1 (most of it is unaccessible). In the 'Park to Penhale' circular walk book (which includes the above mentioned section) - at one point the land owner has put barbed wire across the footpath - we could get under it but I'm sure other people would struggle. Dog poo, most roads, especially on Moorland Road. 1 Don't know where they all are. 1 Fly tipping on Pit Lane. 1 Footpath across field off School Road, Summercourt. Footpath behind the new Next 1 building in Fraddon. Footpath from Parka Hill to Barton Lane not easily accessible as gates locked etc. 1 Footpath down through Kelliers very boggy. Footpath from Stamps Hill alongside A30 - too narrow, badly overgrown - not wide 1 enough. Footpath Higher Fraddon is overgrown fort at least six months of the year, in the winter 1 there is an area which is very wet and muddy and is nearly impossible to walk along the path. Footpath off Barton Lane to Penhale has bene upgraded to bridlepath and is at times 1 impossible to traverse unless considerably moddied as a result. Footpaths and bridleways should not impact people who have to live with backpackers 1 and walkers staring into gardens etc. Fraddon between My Lords Road and Vincent Tractors overgrown hedgerows forcing 1 pedestrians onto roadway. From narrow lane to bridle path the styles on some hedgerows hard to negotiate and it 1 was not clear where the right of way was around the private dwellings at the bridlepath end. Gate to Gossmore from St Dennis in poor condition cannot be accessed on horses. 1 Gnats! 1 Goss Moor - footpaths are okay but a lot of dog fouling placed in bags on tree's etc. 1 Goss Moor overgrown hedges. Main road path between Port and Starboard towards Goss 1 Moor always overgrown have been known to have to walk on road to avoid. Goss Moor trail - dog mess. No dog mess bins on trail. Also a lot of dog mess around the 1 village footpaths. Goss Moor Trail disgusting for children and adults as too much dog mess. 1 Goss Moor trail. Dog mess - dogs off leads that shouldn't be. 1 Harvenna Farm: Footpath often blocked by barbed wire across farmyard and aggressive 1 dogs. 174

No of 7. Problems with footpaths in St Enoder Parish responses Have not walked on that many of late so difficult to say. 1 Hedges are overgrown and encroach onto paths - path opposite Fraddon Village Hall and 1 down past Vincent Tractors. Hedges not cut, grass verges are not looked after. 1 Horse manure on footpaths. Dog manure on footpaths. 1 Huge holes on the path on Goss Moor Trail. 1 I had difficulty when pushing my later husbands' wheelchair as it was not possible to get 1 it around the barrier on the footpath from Kingsley Court to the bus stop. I take my dog on the part of Goss Moor trail near Screech Owl Sanctuary. Some people 1 drive along this part very fast and out again. Why! Very dangerous to walkers and children - and dogs. I use a mobility scotter and a lot of paths are too narrow or overgrown with weeds and 1 bushes/trees. Improved footpaths a necessity, especially in winter. 1 In Barton Lane, Fraddon, where I live I would like to see a pavement possibly part way 1 down to where a footpath leads off to St Enoder, this lane is enjoyed by dog walkers, horseriders and cyclists. A lower speed limti or perhaps making it a "Quiet Lane". Overhanging vegetation on main road paths. Vehicles parked on pavements have stopped me walking past with a pushchair on Parka Road at St Columb Road Near surgery. In the past I found most of the footpaths in the area bad tempered farmers etc. I wasted a 1 lot of time writing letters to the council about this in vain. I now go elsewhere to walk. I cannot imagine that present finances will allow improvements. Just untidiness, hedgerows should be kept under control. 1 Large pot hole by the bus stop near the entrance to Fairview Park. 1 Much fly tipping in so many areas. 1 Muddy at Trenarrow, overgrown on Goss Moor trail (when cut thorns left on trail 1 causing punctures). Fly tipping on Goss Moor trail (Gavergin Bridge reported). Needs trimming at times. 1 No! Oh! Indian Queens. Pit footpath in bad state. 1 No. If footpaths by roadside are included m any areas are overgrown from peoples houses 1 and brambles are a hazard to both children and animals. Areas maintained by Council are good. Not enough! Would use if there were any near my home. I have to drive to use those in 1 other parishes. Not experienced problems. 1 Not pushchair friendly. 1 Our pavements and paths are getting narrower. The grass gets cut and the hedges 1 trimmed back but the verges are growing over the tarmac of the paths. Over the bridge from Pedna Carne could do with a brush up and cut back. 1 Overgrown - Fraddon. Along A30 route to A30/A39 roundabout. 1 Overgrown hedges from roundabout at St Margarets to Vincent Tractors roundabout. 1 Overgrown path next to Alma Farm near the cemetaries. The paths are getting smaller 1 and smaller over the years. Both sides of the road right up to the Summercourt School. Overgrown, very steep and quite dangerous in some areas. No clear signs to be able to 1 follow. 175

No of 7. Problems with footpaths in St Enoder Parish responses Pavement between St Columb Road and Fraddon via Parak badly overgrown. Dog mess 1 a real issue - owners should be named and shamed. Penhale Moor - farmer using footpath and cow muck on path. Dangerous un-even path. 1 Penhale Moor. No one seems to be responsible for keeping hedges trimmed. There are 1 several areas where you cannot use the pavement because of overgrown hedges. Penhale to Barton Lane, the horses make it impossible to walk down there in winter. 1 People not picking up after animals. 1 People riding motorbikes on the Goss Moor trail. 1 Permissive path over Pines top could be cut back more often. 1 Pit Lane to by-pass (top of lane pass stables, CP). 1 Pit Lane, from Higher Fraddon side is a footpath but continues to be used by Roberts 1 tarmac and the lorries are getting bigger and bigger, let them use the Highway designated from behind the Port & Starboard. Potholes in Ironmine Lane (sometimes known as School Lane). 1 Rubbish and flytipping, the new charges at Newquay will only increase both of the 1 above. School Road and cemetary, abuse of adjacent land by dog owners. On the old A30 from 1 the the turning for Trefullock Moor up until the School, the pavement should be wider. Some are barb wired on farmland. Walking groups should walk them and check for any 1 problems. Some are overgrown - e.g. at bottom of Barton Lane. 1 Some are overgrown and neglected. Others have built up of rubbish. 1 Some are overgrown, poorly signposted or walkers are not believed to be welcome. 1 Some are very overgrown. I would also like a map showing all foot paths and bridleways 1 to enable me to access more of them. Some can be overgrown even in summer even the Goss Moor trail. The grass was getting 1 high and you worry about snakes. Some paths are quite narrow and because of traffic, cyclists use the pavements too - quite 1 dangerous. The foopath that extends from the top of Pit Lane to and along the A30 is impassible. 1 (sketch – see diagram at end of table). The footpath from St Enoder to Troan - beyond is very ill-defined. 1 The footpath/bridleway off Barton Lane is regularly overgrown. 1 The hedgerow opposite Ridgewell Terrace protrudes on to the apvement. Not great for 1 kids or parents with pushchairs! The hedges are overgrown between Fraddon and Summercourt, via narrow lane. You 1 can't get a buggy on the pavement. The Kelliers footpath is muddy winter and summer. 1 The Kelliers gets flooded. 1 The path called Toldish Lane water logged and overgrown. 1 The small foopath past Penhale Garage towards St Enoder Church not maintained during 1 the summer eg hedge cutting, brambles, nettles. The Trevarren Green to St Columb Road path is poorly kept. 1

176

No of 7. Problems with footpaths in St Enoder Parish responses The walking entrance to Halloon Avenue have had my fence broken and beer bottles etc 1 thrown in my garden. Teenagers riding motorbikes and push bicycles. Elderly people u se the lane. They start/stop at the edge of villages forcing pedestrians to use the road eg 1 Summercourt to Penhale. Though can be very muddy in places, more dog bins. 1 Through Penhale Moor. Horses churning up the land and nowhere to pass. 1 Too narrow. 1 Too overgrown and unsafe too walk over along A30 Fraddon Hill to Trivisco 1 roundabout. Trying to locate them! 1 Uneven due to potholes. Why on public footpaths are there stiles. Preventing use by 1 wheelchairs and pushchairs. Litter/dog mess. Unrestricted vehicular access to Pitt Lane should be deterred. Further residential 1 development should be refused. A footpath is what it says, it is not a bridlepath over which access it permitted. Vandalism. 1 Walk in any direction for a short time and the footpaths just stop or hit an A-road or 1 motorway (Fraddon). It just be possible to walk to Newquay without endangering your life on busy roads. We (try to) use the footpaths but hey should be a) properly waymarked throughout. b) 1 Cut back so you can actually walk. c) Promoted locally to use - maps/guides/notice boards. d) Farmers and landowners should be prosecuted if they obstruct/remove. Frustration when footpaths are inaccessible or blocked. We have only just moved to the area and haven't yet discovered the footpaths so can't 1 really comment. We walk our dog, footpaths seem fine on our travels. Lanes in poor state. 1 Yes - Goonhoskyn greenlane blocked and signage removed. 1 Yes Flying Fish Seafood litter the lane at the side of the old school. 1 Yes, around St Enoder Church. 1 Yes, dog mess along Moorland Road and St Francis Road. 1 Yes, dog mess and horse mess never picked. 1 Yes, dog mess. Overgrown hedges in summer on Moorland Road down toward Goss 1 Moor tea room over grown with stinging nettles therefore having to walk out in road with buggies and prams. Yes, footpath between St Columb Road and Barn Lane, hostile farmer. 1 Yes, in Summercourt many of the footpaths have been "blocked" by landowners and 1 signs removed. Also, footpaths in Summercourt and St Enoder are not maintained. Yes, they are all littered, people let their dogs walk continually off leads and let them go 1 toilet and don’t pick it up. It's disgusting. Yes. In the Troan area, it was overgrown & difficult to follow. This was a few years ago 1 but it has deterred us from trying other footpaths in the parish.

SECTION 8: COMMUNITY BUILDINGS

Fifteen surveys were not completed for this section.

1. Do you have any comments you wish to make about community buildings in St Enoder Parish?

Many respondents have no issues in relation to the community buildings in the area. However a few respondents would like to see the well used facilities continue to be a vital resource to the Parish. The full list of comments are below:

No of 1. Comments about community buildings in St Enoder Parish responses No. 35 They are good. 7 Only that they should be maintained as current. 5 Used well. 4 Summercourt Hall is a great facility with good access. 2 1) I don't often know what activities are going on in Summercourt Memorial Hall, but 1 most seem to be aimed at people during the day (ie OAPs, unemployed and parents with young children). 2) Would be good to have evening classes eg fitness related. A good range of community buildings. Used by various organisations. 1 A library and town office is needed. 1 A new Wesley Preschool. 1 Adequate and wellworth maintained. A limited amount of cctv would deter vandalism. 1 As would a more obvious police presence on a regular basis. Advertising of events is poor. 1 All of them giving local people the chance tp meet up for various activities. I would love 1 to attend but I work full time and very long hours but I think this is what makes a village. Better seating in village hall (Fraddon). 1 Brilliant number of community spaces - need to promote them as venues so we do not 1 lose them and also need promotion of what goes on in them. Car park at Fraddon Village Hall badly need better lighting, often very dark when 1 leaving the Hall. Community buildings add to the life blood of the villages. 1 Current building used by Wesley playgroup has patches of mould on the interior walls - 1 not good for health. Don't know enough to comment. 1 Enough community buildings. 1 Fantastic improvements to the Victory Hall (but shame it leaves a legacy of a sloping 1 floor!) Fraddon Hall could do with a face lift, extra external lighting, landscaping near the road. 1 Fraddon Village Hall - updating. 1 Fraddon Village Hall is a good facility. Methodist Church offers a lot for the community. 1 Good to see community buildings such as Indian Queens Band Club and Victory Hall are 1 well supported.

179

No of 1. Comments about community buildings in St Enoder Parish responses Great facilities in St Enoder for all ages and with the new youth club building on Queens 1 Recreation Ground, even better now. Great that our village has so many areas for use by the whole community. 1 Group circulation of all activities in all buildings combined. 1 Have never used them. 1 How much smarter the Victory Hall looks. All the community halls need to be protected. 1 If Cornwall Council makes the halls pay rates it would be very difficult for them. I agree with the comments made in 2008. 1 I am encouraged by the support that Parish Council has given to community buildings. 1 St Francis Church is under used due to lack of kitchen and toilet facilities. The church is seeking to improve this, in order to bring it back into regular use both as a community resource and for church use. I applaud the Parish Council for looking after all of the community buildings and I hope 1 that more investment by channelled into these historic community assets. I feel the parish has done an excellent job in increasing/enhancing the existing areas we 1 have for the better ie by building Queens Pit Hall, and by building the Youth Club at Indian Queens Recreation. Well done!! Real investment in the parish! I feel we have enough buildings now to serve the community and buildings should be 1 multi-purpose creating a closer community spirit. I have lived in Fraddon for 7 years and am impressed how verges are cut regularly and 1 how well tended to village looks. I really appreciate the modernisation of Victory Hall. 1 I sometimes use Fraddon Village Hall which I think has been much improved. 1 I think Fraddon Village Hall could do with a new oven! 1 I think Summercourt Memorial Hall should be more fully used. 1 I think the school needs to look at parking and access issues. 1 I use quite a few of them, great to see so much in the area. 1 I use 'Under 5's' building and the local primary school. 1 I use Victory Hall for zumba classes and have been occasionally to working Men's Club 1 but very rarely use them. Indian Queens Pit is a credit to the village. We require a large doctor’s surgery. 1 It would be pleasing to find a home for some sort of library facility. 1 Its great that they are being used buit would like more advertising about what goes on in 1 the community buildings. I see the Fradoon village Hall car park full lots of times but have never known what is going on there. Just keep them well maintained and attractive externally. 1 Keep them for as long as you can and find a way to generate as income to maintain them. 1 Like a new building for Wesley Pre-School. The current building is very damp and not 1 healthy for young children. Long may they flourish due to local support? 1 More activities as many are underused. 1 More things at Fraddon Village Hall in the evenings ie bands, etc. 1 More use should be made of them for teenagers. It may cost in the short term to provide 1 entertainment for teenagers but the benefits are manifold.

180

No of 1. Comments about community buildings in St Enoder Parish responses Need new bigger premises for Indian Queens Pre-School/Toddler Group due to large 1 number of children and waiting list. Also only two toilets for use of staff and children. Need their own purpose built premises. Nice to paint Fraddon Village Hall as Indian Queens Hall has been. 1 No all good facilities. 1 No baby changing facilities at many places. 1 Not all accessible. Football team told not allowed to use new building built down Rec 1 because it was for youth club. This is not very community orientated. Nothing to compain about, we are well served with community buildings. 1 Only applicable one is Working Mens Club which is brilliant. 1 Please look at the derelict building site at St Columb Road. If the builder did not have 1 building permission he should return it to its previous green state. Pleased that they are well used and offer range of activities. 1 Queens Pit, lovely building but again rubbish in the area dangerous. Summercourt 1 Village Hall under used but great facility. Church under used by wider community and generally poorly supported. Serious parking problem at the Victory Hall and St Francis Road, and Drang. Could not 1 access by emergency services if required! Some building could do with a little money generated into the upkeep like they doing 1 with the church in Ladock. Sort out the old building just below Fraddon Post Office. 1 St Francis Church boundaries very unkempt. 1 The community building at Indian Queens Pit was perfect for a class I hired it for. Arthur 1 was very helpful at helping arrange hire. Could do with a new noticeboard outside Fraddon Village Hall. The Fraddon Village Hall is very good. Indian Queens Victory hall is greatly improved. 1 The Indian Queens Victory Hall has well maintained amenities. 1 The ones I have used are well maintained and that all seem to be put to good use. 1 There is plenty of choice. 1 They all need to be well maintained and used for 'village activities'. They are well used 1 and need to be kept up to a high standard. Being central to Cornwall makes our Halls ideal for countywide events to be held in them. They are ESSENTIAL for healthy community life. 1 They are very important and need support going forward so they can be used by our 1 children for years to come. They are well run on a limited budget. 1 They do need an upgrade and I would like to see more prominent advertising of events. 1 They seem to work well but some could be promoted as meeting/conference venues for 1 the local authority given general location - especially at Indian Queens Pit. Fraddon Village Hall is a little tired and could do with a bit of a 'face lift'. Fantas tic opportunity to promote for conference/meetings. Bringing money into the local economy for local people. A resource that is curently under used during the day. To be maintained and promoted. 1 To offer more clubs eg crafting, well-being reading circle etc. 1

181

No of 1. Comments about community buildings in St Enoder Parish responses Too many individual. Should pull together and join finances. 1 Updating. 1 Upgrade of these has been superb. 1 Use them or lose them. 1 Very poor/unwelcoming (Summercourt). 1 Victory Hall looking good, playing fields good (still local holigans around though!) Pit 1 brilliant work by and friends to preserve history. Village Hall, St Columb Road should be used more. 1 Village halls very useful to hire out for parties. 1 Wesley Chapel Hall is damp and mouldy. It's great that we have so many community 1 buildings and that they are well used. Wesley Pre-school needs one. Brillaint that youth club now has one. 1 Whilst facilities are generous in numbers. I do feel that most are tired in appearance and 1 enhancement should be considered if funds permit. With Summercourt Village Hall being only used 10. Surely the upkeep of this building 1 outways the usage. Should be sold. Would be nice to have some evening classes to learn new skills (ie languages, dancing, 1 cooking, creative writing, etc) maybe through local colleges?

2. Do you think that that the Parish Council should have office space within St Enoder Parish?

46% (342 respondents) would be happy if there was an office that the Parish Council had within the Parish.

2. Parish Council office space No of respondents Yes 342 This is of no concern to me 193 No 116 TOTAL 650

Two respondents who did not support a Parish Council office space made the following comment: “There are enough community places for Parish Council.”

Respondents made the following alterantive comments: “Why is this needed?” “That’s for the parish to decide.”

182

3. If you answered YES, where in St Enoder Parish do you think the office space would be best located?

Respondents suggested various lcoations throughout the Parish. However community buildings/village halls, particularly Fraddon Village Hall and Indian Queens Victory Hall were the preferences.

No of 3. Parish Council office space located Responses Community building/village halls. 18 Fraddon Village Hall. 16 Indian Queens Victory Hall. 14 Indian Queens Industrial Estate. 12 Kingsley Village. 12 Fraddon. 6 Indian Queens. 6 Don’t know. 5 Centre of parish. 3 Centre of the village. 2 Fraddon Post Office. 2 St Columb Road. 2 Along Parka Road. 1 Any already owned building. 1 Any one of the buildings listed at the start or how about purpose built at the recreation 1 ground or allotment. Any vacant property suitable within the parish. 1 Around the train crossing, as there is buildings already there. 1 As the Parish is long and thin it should be somewhere in the middle eg an annexe to 1 Fraddon Village Hall. Attached to one of the village halls. 1 Beside Fraddon Village Hall. Or if we had a shopping centre between Parka Road and 1 Chapel Road there. Building next door to existing Fraddon Post Office. 1 Central to the largest population density for the Parish eg Indian Queens. 1 Centrally eg Memorial Hall, Summercourt. 1 Centrally so people could access when needed. 1 Co-located within Cornwall Council building or at St Austell Council building. Same 1 policy as the civil service hot desking, shared facilities, etc. Control to ensure that they were within easy reach of thelocal community eg Fraddon. 1 Current arrangement is adequate. Since clerk lives in Probus any local office would be a 1 waste of money. Either use some existing buildings or build in a field. 1 Exactly where/building etc. Not sure, but somewhere central, where parishioners can 1 acccess the council. Existing office space, currently unused. 1 Fraddon Post Office (when it becomes empty), or old chapel next door. 1 183

No of 3. Parish Council office space located Responses Fraddon Village Hall car park. 1 Glebe Farm. 1 I don't know but it is unfair to expect councillors to keep paperwork etc in their own 1 homes. Improve accessibility to parish council. Part time hours at Victory Hall or Working 1 Men's Club would be beneficial. In an area designated for employment land. 1 In centre of area, on bus route. 1 In one of community buildings central to all the main villages. 1 Indian Queens football and play school area. 1 It would depend on the purpose but Fraddon Village Hall - accessible by public 1 transport. A one-stop shop where local residents could have access to information advice and guidance supported by the voluntary sector. Signposting residents to support to enable them to make informed decisions. Kelliers. 1 Kingsley Village as Post Office I understand will shortly house there, widely used area. 1 Local schools could be used to save expense on building new. 1 Maybe beside new youth club at Indian Queens. 1 Maybe rent an office at the Indian Queens Industrial Estate. Or change the building site 1 at St Columb Road (opposite Doctors) into something! Near the village. 1 Near to Co-op or the Post Office when it relocates to Kingsley Village. 1 Near to the School. 1 Not living in area very long we are not qualified to offer any suggestions. 1 Old post office at St Columb Road. 1 Old School? 1 On a bus route in a village centre. 1 One of the village/community halls. Fraddon Post Office building (once 1 closed/relocated). Part of/attached to the village hall?! Its somewhere fairly central. 1 Perhaps a private house could be adapted - possibly near the Co-op. 1 Pit Hall central to the village or Victory Hall. 1 Possibly with school premises (under used for many weeks per year). 1 Queens Club. 1 Recreation ground. 1 Somewhere already developed for business use where whoever was manning the office 1 wouldn't be isolated.

No of 3. Parish Council office space located Responses St Columb Road. 1 Suggest the School or Indian Queens Pit building - but needs a room where paperwork 1 can be kept securely. Summercourt Hall. 1 Summercourt, on the derelict land between Joinery and Kessells/Renault Showrooms. 1 The Pit area. 1 The vacant old warehouse down from the Post Office. 1 Using existing industrial units if need be. 1 Victory Hall - maybe once a week. Where you can air your views and/or a space in an 1 industrial unit on a more permanent basis. Victory Hall area and rec. 1 Wherever is cheapest. 1 With cafeful reorganising of St Francis Church an office, toilet and kitchen facility could 1 be constructed at the back of the church. Church also usable for other community activities. You as the Council should decide. 1

4. Do you think that there should be a community library in the Parish?

56% (419 respondents) agreed that the Parish would benefit from having a community library.

4. Community Library in Parish No of respondents Yes 419 This is of no concern to me 160 No 86 Don’t know 2 Maybe 1 TOTAL 668

One respondent who did not think there was the need for a community library made the following comment: “Volunteers are not trained library staff. Should have kept mobile service”.

185

5. If you answered YES, where in St Enoder Parish do you think a community library would be best located?

Locations that residents suggested for housing a community library included community buildings/village halls, particularly Fraddon Village Hall and Indian Queens Victory Hall were the preferences.

No of 5. Community library located responses Fraddon Village Hall. 34 Community building/village hall 33 Indian Queens Victory Hall. 27 Don't know. 10 Fraddon. 10 Indian Queens. 10 Kingsley Village. 10 Central location. 9 The current Post Office building near to Fraddon Chapel after it moves to Kingsley. 5 Victory Hall car park. 4 Any of the pubs in the villages. 3 Queens Club. 3 School. 3 Summercourt Memorial Hall. 3 Upkeep the library bus - mobile to reach everybody. 3 A mobile service at the least as it can cover all areas of the Parish. 2 As centrally as possible and on a main bus route. 2 Industrial Estate. 2 Opposite the St Columb Road Doctors Surgery. 2 Rec area. 2 Summercourt. 2 The previous post office at St Columb Road. 2 Wherever best links to public transport/amenities. 2 A static caravan in Fraddon Village Hall / Queens Victory Hall car park. 1 Along Parka Road. 1 Any one of the buildings listed at the start or how about purpose built at the recreation 1 ground or allotment. Attached to one of the village halls or on land at Queens Club which would give parking 1 facilities. Blue Anchor Inn. 1 Could put in a community hall that is open most of the week (would be open at 1 weekends if available for all to use). Does the School have a library, which could be expanded for community use? 1 Each village hall could support a small library and special books could be ordered. St 1 Columb runs very well. Easy access to pedestrians and car parking. 1 Exactly where McDonalds is right now. 1

186

No of 5. Community library located responses Fraddon and library van visits smaller communities, perhaps a phone service to ask it to 1 call in on an allotted day. Fraddon Chapel. 1 Ideally isolated and vulnerable people could access library and other community services 1 either in their homes or post offices, etc. If people are willing to volunteer. 1 If there was a need for this I would be willing to volunteer. 1 I'm sorry, but I've no idea where this would be practical - it would be great - but would it 1 be supported enough. In a disused building. 1 In a town centre if we can get one or beside Fraddon Village Hall. 1 In each village. 1 In post office. 1 In the area around Kingsley Village. It will be near the new relocated post office and 1 have adequate parking. In the location with the most dense population. 1 In the Wesley Pre-School new building if we get it! I'd happpily volunteer. Add a small 1 café type thing to it and it would be lovely. Indian Queens Methodist Hall. A community library is essential to ensure the most 1 vulnerable within our parish that may not have access to the internet or financial resource, have the opportunity to keep up to date with recent publications. A library is also a social opportunity for individuals to be signposted to areas of interest. It would be nice, even if it’s just small. Not sure where's best. 1 Kelliers alongside a Parish Council building. 1 Linked with wherever the parish office space goes - ideally in one of the older buildings. 1 Near to either Post Office/Co-op. 1 Next to the school or town hall. 1 No sure - somewhere local to all the villages not too far from a bus stop for people that 1 use public transport. Not a t this time as I am fortunate to be in full time employment. However if I was unable 1 to work it could be a lifeline as opportunity to read up to date novels and non-fiction On Pedna Carne so that everyone else would have to up and down the hill rather than the 1 residents here having to do so. Disgusted at loss of mobile library and not easy for elderly residents to visit community library in Fraddon. Pit Hall. 1 Place with the largest community. 1 Possibly near shops. 1 Queens Club car park. 1 Small ones in a local shop, pub, chapel. 1 Somewhere that is easy to access and with good parking facilities. 1 St Columb Road Village Hall. 1 St Columb Road. 1 St Francis Church. 1 The little church near Fraddon Post Office as it looks dis-used. 1 187

No of 5. Community library located responses The old church on New Road, Fraddon. 1 The vacant shop below the Co-op. 1 Use St Columb Major Library - support to keep it open. 1 Various locations. 1 Victory Hall? Central location, parking spaces, recently updated. 1 Village Hall - could be run by the Parish Council. 1 We'd be happy to house the community library if/when the new pre-school goes ahead. 1 Where it currently is at the Victory Hall? 1 Where most books were borrowed from (records as per old library service van?). 1 Why not in the pubs or shops? 1 Working Mens Club. Central to heaviest residential and School - ample parking. 1

Many suggestions were listed on improvements residents would like made at the Indian Queens Recreation Ground. Preferences included swings, climbing equipment/wall, slides, zip line/wire or roundabout. The full list of suggestions is below:

No of 4. Play equipment at Indian Queens Recreation Ground responses Swings. 23 Climbing equipment/wall. 20 Slides. 18 Zip line/wire. 13 Roundabout. 11 A range to suit all age groups. 8 (Ramp) Skateboard area. 5 Splash park. 4 Anything safe and fun. 3 Ask the children what they would like - if they have what they want it will probably be 3 of better use. Exercise/fitness equipment. 3 Normal up to date play equipment that meets safety standards. 3 Seesaw. 3 Anything that is robust that kids cannot vandalise. 3 Long lasting ones for a range of ages. 2 Not sure. 2 Sand pit/play area. 2 Trampolines. 2 "Keep Fit" play equipment as per play area near fire sation in . 1 A giant seesaw that gets children all working/playing together to tip it back and forth! 1 Maybe something a bit different that uses natural materials (wood/willow) to enhance landscape? A mixture of toddler friendly area - swings with seats, small slides etc and a larger area 1 for the bigger kids climbing frames etc. 190

No of 4. Play equipment at Indian Queens Recreation Ground responses A separate area fenced off designed for under 5's, swings, slides, roundabout and rockers. 1 A toddler area is needed. The Rec. is unsafe for under 3 year olds. Barking is awful. 1 Other local playgroups are much better. A toddlers area like the one at Trenance with rubber matting not bark chippings. 1 A variety of equipment for children age 1 (baby) to 16. 1 Adventure play area. 1 Adventure play equipment, football goals, basketball hoops - all of these would actually 1 encourage children to get outdoors more. Adventure/obstacle stuff. 1 An area for babies and toddlers, play equipment for over 5's. 1 Any but need to be looked after. 1 As long as it covers all ages and encourages physical exercise it should be safe and 1 colourful. Balance beams. Just more up-to-date equipment. 1 Basically like other parks - see Wadebridge or Padstow. 1 Bench and seating for parents. 1 Better flooring, basket swing, wooden play frames, obstacle course. 1 Better skate facilities. Better play facilities. 1 Better surface. Separate area for under 5's. More variety of equipment. Toilets. 1 Cement tunnels. 1 Child proof and safety. 1 Different areas for different ages. 1 Disabled swing/bed not used by us as we do not have kids but I work with kids. 1 Equipment for all ages - a small version of Heartlands would be a good example. 1 Equipment for the very young to safely play on. 1 Equipment that could be used by younger children under 5's, at the moment there are 1 only two chair swings everything else is too big or difficult for them. Maybe a small slide or a train like the one at Fraddon. Equipment up to the age of 12 years. Suitable and safe and maintained. 1 Exercise equipment (as at Malpas in Truro) older children soft play for very young 1 children railed off. Exercise equipment for adults. 1 Exploring areas, hideouts. 1 Football posts, netball posts. 1 For all ages, as my daughter is 2, she can't always use equipment in partks as it’s too big 1 for her. For young children - wooden well built equipment. 1 Good quality - something not too costly to maintain - something adult and child friendly 1 so parents can encourage chidlren who are less able to join in. Good safety matting. Water splash park/zone. Good separate toddler area/big kid area. 1 Plenty of swings, slides, tunnels, climbing frame. Goonhavern have a lovely play area for children. Maybe the same equipment could be 1 used.

191

No of 4. Play equipment at Indian Queens Recreation Ground responses I am not competant to comment on this issue other than to say that I support the 1 installation of safe equipment relative to the enjoyable, developmental activities of children and young people. I don't know what is there already, not having young children, but as long as it is safe, 1 old is not a problem. Children always love swings and slides. I recently visit Hamworthy Park in Poole and they have great play facilities for toddlers. 1 Older kids and also "gym equipment" type which would encourage fitness to all. I think it should be for the children and young people of the parish to be consulted as to 1 decide what they would like installed as they are the ones who will be accessing it. I think that you are doing a very good job at the Recreation Ground. Thank you. 1 I would like to see a small safe area for small children on wheels - preferably with some 1 seating for parents. Interactive playground equipment for health and fitness. Multi-use games areas. 1 Interesting/useful play area activities such as the play area in St Austell (adjacent to the 1 railway station and opposite the library). Latest heavy duty plastic covered metal equipment on rubber particle sealed flooring. 1 Lighting for appropriate equipment so that it can be used after dark. 1 Modern and lots of it looking at the amount of children here. 1 More children friendly. 1 More children play equipment, less skate parks etc. 1 More for smaller kids. Football pitch for youngsters. Swap chippings for rubber 1 chippings. More interesting things to do, picnic area, sand pit, for all ages, young and old. 1 More kit of a training nature. This could be used by pensioners to get fit! 1 More modern wooden play equipment for all ages. 1 More natural materials and open ended i.e. not bright coloured plastic swing/slide. 1 Something more like that at Heartlands and Lanhydrock. More safe equipment for the children to play on. 1 More seating, timber, separate toddlers play areas. 1 More stuff for the children in Indian Queens and Fraddon area. 1 More things for younger children so they can play easily by themselves. All the 1 equipment is too big for toddlers. More toddler and smaller childrens play. 1 No suggestions, but welcome the improvements. 1 Obstacle course play area. 1 Picnic tables, bike riding area for children, public toilets, toddler rides. 1 Play area suitable for younger children and toddlers, very little there they can use. 1 Play equipment child friendly but also things that are playful but engage the childs’ 1 mind. Play houses. Sand pit. 1 Probably use rubber rather than chippings. Is there enough room for a skateboard area? 1 Replace existing equipment with new and remove bark chipping and replace with soft 1 weather proof base. Also some more benches or picnic tabl es for families to sit at. Would make it more accessible all year round. 192

No of 4. Play equipment at Indian Queens Recreation Ground responses Roche Park is how I'd like to see Indian Queens Recreation Ground. A small enclosed 1 park for toddlers so they can't run far and then a larger park suited for all ages. Rockers for small children, a climb on train or similar. Children would love all these 1 things as existing equipment is worn out. Safe and well maintained area, maybe the bark chippings could be changed for foam. 1 Safe, interesting, different structures - talk to the playgroups and infant school parents. 1 Seems well catered for already. 1 See-saw/swing like in Roche Park. Rubber flooring. Train. Benches/picnic tables. 1 'Mixing Bowl' - like they have in Grampound Road park. Segregated areas for different age groups with appropriate age related play equipment. 1 Alternative to bark chippings such as rubber matting. Separate play area for youngsters and teens. All weather turf, and the rubber matting for 1 play areas. Shelter and older play equipment for upper age groups. 1 Similar facilities to Summercourt Park, we tend to use this area. 1 Similar to play area beside the tennis courts in Wadebridge. Especially as there are 1 younger and older children areas. Similar to that in Thomas Playing Field in Summercourt? 1 Something for older children eg skateboard/basketball. 1 Something like the huge park in St Austell by swimming centre. Would need to be secure 1 from teenage yobs though. Something more for babies and very young children. Extra picnic table. 1 Something more suited to younger children too. 1 Special designation area for dogs. 1 Sports. 1 Static cars / trains to play in. 1 Strong wooden assualt type course - not huge. Great for kids and kids at heart. 1 Talk to parents. 1 Tennis courts. 1 The best possible. Something for all age ranges - pre-school to teenagers. Outside gym 1 for adults? The park play area by Padstow car park would be a good model, our kids love it! 1 The playground is very dated, with not enough equipment. Under 5 year old can not play 1 there as not enough 'toddler friendly/size' equipment. It is a rubbish park at the moment. There is already sufficient equipment at this site. I cannot see what more is required. 1 Things for all children from birth to older teenagers including climbing ropes, zip wire 1 similar to parks in Wadebridge and Padstow. Things that all ages can use, new and modern, lots of things to play with, perhaps a 1 splash park, climbing wall, not just one swing and a slide! Tyre swing/bird nest swing (encourages children to work together). 1 Usual play area equipment. We have never been there so do not know what is in 1 existance. We need a much larger area of open space for recreation. 1 What is the safest and good quality? 1 193

No of 4. Play equipment at Indian Queens Recreation Ground responses Witches hat, it was great fun when I was little! 1 Wooden adventure play house/slides etc. Seating area. 1 Wooden climbing frame. Separate play areas for small and older children. Shelters over 1 some equipment so children can play when raining. Wooden framed playing equipment on a play safe surface. 1

No of 5. Improvements at Fraddon Millennium Green responses Benches/seating. 7 More play equipment. 6 Maybe a shelter for when rain stops play. 3 More up-to-date safe play equipment. 3 Tables for picnics. 3 A lovely dog free space. 2 Don't know. 2 Improved general upkeep. 2 Skate park. 2 Toddler rides/equipment. 2 A better wildlife area and pond at the bottom - would Cornwall Wildlife Trust take it on? 1 A bin! Train needs paint! 1 A nice tea shop café where parents and children can enjoy. 1 A 'trim trail' that adults and children can use. 1 Adult outdoor play equipment ie treadmills, etc. 1 Adventure/obstacle, stuff/skate ramps. 1 Anything applicable. Properly maintained and adequate football pitch. 1 Ask Fraddon people what they would like. 1 Basically like other parks - see Wadebridge or Padstow. 1 Better football pitch. 1 Big green area a t bottom turned into proper skate park, a bowl maybe. With bigger ramps 1 for older kids not like the other one. Didn't know there was one. 1 Exercise equipment (as at Malpas in Truro) for older children. 1 Existing equipment needs maintaining. A new rocker to replace the missing one. 1 Fitness equipment. 1 General maintenance and removal of hazards. Possible closure at hours of darkness to 1 prevent vandalism and graffiti.

194

No of 5. Improvements at Fraddon Millennium Green responses Get rid of the train - it seems to be a sex haven for teens judging by the number of used 1 condoms (yuk). Climibing frames, swings, slides - all good just nowhere to hide! Good safety matting. Water splash park/zone. Good separate toddler area/big kid area. 1 Plenty of swings, slides, tunnels, climbing frane. Gym equipment. 1 I am not competent to comment on this issue other than to say that I support the 1 installation of safe equipment relative to the enjoyable, developmental activities of children and young people. I would like to see a small safe area for small children on wheels - preferably with some 1 seating for parents. Improve the gardening (hedges are very overgrown especially by the houses with high 1 fences). Football parks. Better maintenance of footpaths. Indestrutable metal slides, etc (originally used to be tal l metal slides etc in Indian Queens 1 Rec lasted donkeys years. Interactive playground equipment for health and fitness. Multi-use games areas. Zip line. 1 It's a lovely space, but little snack hut / coffee shop, indoor play area, ice cream hut, 1 slush and snowcone hut. It's improved since 2008 with nice benches and the rebuilt train. We go regularly and my 1 kids enjoy 'the train park'. To improve it I would along suggest similar things to above i.e. a giant seesaw that gets children all working/playing together to tip it back and forth! Maybe something a bit different that uses natural materials (wood/willow) to enhance landscape? Just make it useable and safe and maintained. 1 Level the field, better up keep. Constantly littered and occasional glass. 1 Litter left. Older children using to drink which puts off younger families, modern play 1 equipment, picnic bench. Long lasting ones for a range of ages (have a look at Goonhavern and Perranporth parks). 1 More equipment similar to Newlyn East. 1 More for the children to play with perhaps lives out the playground as its very un-leveled 1 harder for disabled, children and parents. More regular maintenance, there is often rubbish. 1 More variety of equipment for older kids. 1 Nature reserve. 1 New climbing frame. 1 New play equipment. 1 Perhaps better signage at it's location. 1 Possibly some flower beds. 1 Putting green; volley ball; basketball; skate park. 1 Remove the pond/bog at the bottom of the park. 1 Replace the goal posts please. Need to be smaller - even six a side sized. 1 Roche Park is how I'd like to see Indian Queens Recreation Ground. A small enclosed 1 park for toddlers so they can't run far and then a larger park suited for all ages. Zip wire swings, climbing frames, swings, slide. Park is ok however my son is quickly bored with whats on offer.

195

No of 5. Improvements at Fraddon Millennium Green responses Special designation area for dogs. 1 Swings, sports. 1 Talk to parents. 1 Teenage/Adult exercise equipment/keep fit. No dogs. 1 The trees around the edge of the play area trim med down, more seating and the play field 1 finished (goal posts). There should be things the children can play on - swings, see-saw, roundabouts. 1 Think this is lovely little park. 1 This is a lovely park for toddlers but needs more upkeep please. 1 Toilets. Lake fenced and secured. 1 Updating of some of the play equipment - provisions for toddlers. Picnic benches, bins. 1 Upgrade it. It's looking old and shabby. A lot of teenagers gather there. It spoils it for the 1 toddlers. Also brambles are a nightmare. Upkeeped more regularly. 1 What is there is sufficient. 1

6. What improvements, if any, would you like to see at the Thomas Playing Field in Summercourt?

A variety of suggestions were given by respondents to help enhance the Summercourt Thomas Playing Field. The full list is detailed below:

No of 6. Improvements at Thomas Playing Field responses Anything that is modern but safe. 2 More seating. 2 A latch on the gate to stop little ones "escaping". 1 All ok. 1 Ask the groups who use it. 1 Better maintenance of the top fence under the trees which is in disrepair and potentially 1 dangerous. Dog free, if not already. Hygiene reasons. 1 Don't know. 1 Encourage kids to play on it not in the road. 1 Footpath into field to allow year round access. 1 Grass cut more often. Cleaned more - regularly rubbish and broken glass. 1 Have not visited site, but aware of fairly recent additon of skate park. 1 I am not competant to comment on this issue other than to say that I support the 1 installation of safe equipment relative to the enjoyable, developmental activities of children and young people. Improvements have made over recent years - unlike Indian Queens. 1 Improvements made have been very good and the playing field is used by villagers. 1 Interactive playground equipment for health and fitness. Multi-use games areas. Zip line. 1

196

No of 6. Improvements at Thomas Playing Field responses It is already a lovely play area for children of all ages. Perhaps a bench seat for 1 grandparents! Just make it useable and safe and maintained. 1 Keep the playing field equipment updated as good as Fraddon and Indian Queens. 1 Lovely space. 1 More dog bins. 1 More equipment similar to Newlyn East. 1 More equipment. 1 More play equipment for younger children. 1 More toddler friendly play equipment. Some form of shelter. Develop links with local 1 kids sports clubs to actively use the football pitch. Outdated a little compared to Queens and Fraddon but I understand the areas are bigger. 1 Perhaps better signage at it's location. 1 Recently been done. 1 Skatepark is excellent - maybe extend it. 1 Some sort of barrier behind the two goal posts to prevent balls going into the 1 hedges/adjacent fields. Stronger bins for ratbag teenagers to put their rubbish in. 1 Swings need updating, more climbing equipment. Lovely park as it is! 1 Swings, sports. 1 Talk to parents. 1 Teenage/Adult exercise equipment/keep fit. No dogs. 1 Tennis court, basketball court. The playing field is HUGE and only a tiny percentage of 1 it is used. There is lots of space that can be developed. The new park, benches and skate park are fantastic! Thank you! 1 The new skate board area is very well used and the children love it. 1 Thomas Playing Field is lovely, please protect it. 1 Times of use should be displayed and enforced to prevent teenagers/older children 1 causing a nuisance to neighbours late at night. We really enjoy spending time at the Thomas Playing Field. There is a lovely range of 1 equipment for the children to play with. At the moment we can't think of anything to improve the area we will welcome future projects if suitable.

3. Are there any specific historic buildings, features or sites in our Parish, which you think should be given special protection?

Various locations across the Parish were suggested to protect due for historic reasons, preferably Indian Queens Pit and St Enoder Church. The full list of suggestions are detailed below:

No of 3. Specific historical buidlings, features or sites responses Indian Queens Pit. 23 St Enoder Church. 12 All that exists. 8 The Church. 5 Chimney/mines on Parka Road. 4 Chapels. 3 Don't know. 2 St Francis Church. 2 All aspects of heritage listed in Q1. 1 All religious buildings (churches and chapels). 1 Any granite built buildings. The Old School. 1 Any site of archaeological importance. 1 As the Blue Anchor Inn was the second stiop for change of horses after the Battle of 1 Trafalgar, it should be of historic interest and given brown er tourist signs, we have found it impossible to find out about this. Chapel and church at Indian Queens. Water source at entry to playing fields. 1 Colan Woods at Fir Hill Woods but I believe the ruins at Firhill Manor are privately 1 owned but very sadly, they are blocked paths to these now and some seem to be bought and being re-built? Cuckoo Stone St Columb Road. 1 Fair Field. This should be projected from any further development, and maybe the fair 1 could be encouraged to improve somehow to safeguard its future. Fraddon is one of the oldest areas in Kernow. Why is there no listed buildings here. 1 Indian Queens has a St Francis Weldl which has been desicrated. Goss Moor. 1 Indian Queens preaching pit. To protect them from vandalism and to upgrade access to 1 pit and car park. Is the Parka Mine near St Columb Road already protected? Who owns it and could it be 1 tidied up? It would be nice if all items listed as aspects of St Enoder's heritage that aren't already 1 listed could be. Mine at St Columb Road. 1 Mine chimneys. Old school. Fair Field. 1 Mines. 1 Mining remains. For which Cornwall was famous. Mining was big business and should 1 not be forgotten. Need to review the older buildings in the parish - all pre-1880 and some selected post 1 1880, to consider listing or to develop a parish 'local list' of buildings which are locally historically important or add specificially to the character of the vilages. 201

No of 3. Specific historical buidlings, features or sites responses None that I am aware of (however, I am curious about the chimneys). 1 Old buildings give a village character, not mundane new properties. 1 Queens Victory Hall. 1 Rather protect them, embrace sympathetic development and let local people live in them. 1 Restore and enhance not live in the past and ruins. Recreation areas. 1 Rosewyn Woods - mature beech and oak woodland. 1 Sites already identified by working group. 1 St Francis Road. 1 The Chapel near the post office in Fraddon is an eye sore, should be face lifted. 1 The double seat outside privy at Trewinnion Farm. 1 The old chimney stacks and engine houses. 1 The old coach roads and particularly the route used by Little Polieve too carry the news 1 of Trafalgar to King George. Also the building opposite St Enoder Church that was used as a pub after the victory. The Old Store 200 yards down the road from Fraddon Post Office is an eyesore and 1 should be cleaned up and used or demolished. Other poorly maintained private buildings should have to be looked after. The old waterworks. 1 The Toll Cottage at Blue Anchor. Blue Anchor Pub. These buildings should be protected 1 as they are not only ancient but unique to the history of the village. Tin mine at St Columb Road. 1 Tin mines chimneys/engine houses/woods. 1 Too late - churches and chapels have already been sold off. 1 Wesley Chapel. 1 Yes, as an ex-Summercourt boy I believe the Fairfield should be protected and remain 1 for the fair in many years to come.

4. Are there any specific historic landscapes in our Parish, which you think should be given special protection?

Various locatiosn throughout the Parish were suggested by respondents - Indian Queens Pit was preferred. The full list of suggestions are detailed below:

No of 4. Specific historical landscapes responses Indian Queens Pit. 9 All. 8 Goss Moor. 4 Any space which has historical remains. 1 Anywhere you cannot see a wind turbine. 1 Behind old Queens School. 1 Cally Quintrell Rock at Higher Fraddon. 1

202

No of 4. Specific historical landscapes responses Fields. 1 Firhill Woods if not private land. 1 Green spaces. 1 Landscape change the ones you'd be protecting would only be a snapshot in time and 1 history - photos. Leave clay areas clear of wind farms. 1 Most of the surrey field systems and boundaries are medieval in origin and should be 1 protected. Historic mining features/sites also important and at risk, such as chimneys at Parka Mine, Toldish active mine, Chytane Woods, engine house near the Kelliers, Halwyn skytip and dries. Not sure about landscapes, not sure what would constitute as a 'Historical Landscape'. 1 Open the little river, hidden from view, by the side of Fraddon Post Office with a plague 1 of its history? Parish boundaries - hedges. 1 Parka Road mine. 1 Rosewyn Woods - mature beech and oak woodland. 1 Sites identified by Working Group. 1 St Enoder Church. 1 The Fair Field, Summercourt. 1 The old properties around the Blue Anchor Inn. 1 The old road by Kingsley Village by the petrol station used by pack horses. 1 The view from Fraddon Hill with its very long vista down to the sea. 1 There used to be a holy well down behind St Enoder Church where the vicar would get 1 the water for baptisms many years ago. As far as I know it wasn’t protected and we don't know if still might exist. I and my husband went to look for it and we couldn’t find it where it was has been trampled by cattle. Many years ago the school children used to be taken down there on walks to see it. It should have been protected. Too many run down "protected areas". 1 Woods from South West Water, down through the valley to St Enoder. 1 Woods running along stream crossing Barton Lane. 1 Yes, all of these again are our heritage and that of our future generations. 1 Yes, the area around the Kelliers. Currently under threat from illegal caravans at Little 1 Meadows Arbour.

SECTION 11: OTHER COMMENTS

Two hundred and eighty-six surveys were not completed for this section

The questionnaire has covered many different subject areas, which are specifically relevant to what will be covered by the Neighbourhood Plan. It is simply not possible to cover everything. This section is for any additional comments you may have about life in St Enoder Parish.

11. Other comments A coherent structure to the local cycle paths, with better connectivity would be beneficial for both locals and tourists. It may help cutting down on traffic as well. A neighbour of mine wanted to build on her own land and was turned down as being "outside the envelope" despite no neighbours objecting. This seems short sighted. Buildings have to change use in order to continue and not fall into disreapir. It is better for an unused chapel to become apartments than for it to deteriorate slowly. Public transport should be cheap and reliable then more people would use it, it would be more cost effective and roads clearer. At present it is a joke. Wind turbines are the bane of many people's lives. Access to Indian Queens School needs to be considered. I recently attended the meeting at the School to view proposals for the new 5 classrooms. This is essential due to the rapid growth of the village BUT it does not take into consideration access to the School. Parking at the School - especially during periods of bad weather is terrible. This will only get worse as the School gets larger. Now that additional land has been acquired, I believe the Parish/planners should give strong consideration to somehow making a through-road, so that traffic can go in at one end of the housing estate, and out at the other. I mentioned this at the School meeting, and officials said it 'could happen' in future, but there are no plans for it at present. Why not think about it now!!! Resolve this issue before a major incident occurs! Add a pharmacy to the community lots of elderly people can't get out to places like Newquay for medication and can't get it on prescription either, I think it will help the village a lot. Do better events advertise better put leaflets through doors etc. Amount of trafffic in Higher Fraddon due to the new biogas site, pig farm and E. Roberts Plant Hire. It has become increasingly worrying when you see the amount of traffic using Higher Fraddons roads. It quite simply isn't built for this amount of traffic. I would like St Enoder Neighbourhood Plan to look into alternative access for those vehicles (A30?). The sheer volume of traffic is dangerous, and I truly believe it will not be long until a major accident occurs. Little consideration by the companies at the top of Higher Fraddon has been or is given for local residents. Their drivers disregard the speed limit and often pay little attention to what is on the road or exiting from housing. I think action needs to be taken immediately to address this issue!! An online/telephone reporting system for residents to report concerns about issues raised in this questionnaire would be useful. Any aspect of Cornwall's heritage, be it landscape or buildings, that illustrate Cornwalls history and current aspirations. Any potential development in the parish of St Enoder needs to be carefully considered for the benefit of the local people. Particularly for jobs and prosperity of the whole county. Developments need to be considered to be sustainable and to enhance the livelihoodsof the local people. As a recent member of the community, it would be nice to have an idea of clubs/societies that might be of interest, or indeed ways to get involved! As the school at Indian Queens continues to grow I believe an Astro turf pitch would benefit the whole community of St Enoder and could also be rented out to organisations such as Newquay and St Columb football clubs, Newquay Hornets etc for training and matchees (similar to the one at the sports centre in Newquay and Brannel School). 204

11. Other comments As you go through this questionnaire it seems that young families and every age group of children are considered. Didn't read much about old people and their needs: it would be nice to be thought of once in a while. Before commenting on 3 & 4 opposite we would like to see 2, Section 9. Campaign to slow down motor traffic on ‘b’ roads. Provision of more cycle paths and footpaths. Low cost community bus for the over 65's. Change in St Enoder is inevitable, but….it should be on a genuine need basis. A few homes for 'key workers' who want to live and stay in the area would be great. Subsidies for renewables are bringing rapid, unfettere d, indulgent applications to the fore, which have no landscape or amenity strategy or value. Sports fields for schools should be safeguarded, as should our listed buildings. Farm land should be kept for farming purposes which defines our landscape and tourism within the area. Clayworks Melbier tips kept for dog walking and tidied up. Could do with a retail park of some sort nearby, or at the very least a DIY superstore, have to travel to Treliske or Homebase, if you have to return anthing that’s another 24 miles. Disappointed that the local Post Office at Fraddon is being lost, at least geographically its apparent relocation at Kingsley Village. Loses the effect of it being a local facility, as it will put it on the edge of the area, even further away from Indian Queens and St Columb Road. We fully understand that the current Post Office staff wishes to retire, but feel they are being messed about by the Post Office. Their situation should have been resolved in April, but at the time of writing it would appear that their deserved retirement is not being facilitated. Dog mess especially along the grass verges and on the Goss Moor trail. Double yellow lines should be reapplied and ENFORCED. Speed limits lowered. Great that this survey exists. Would like to see the results by post. Help and support for the new Wesley childcare centre. This would be hugely beneficial to the local community providing more and longer childcare not to mention more jobs and an additional community building. As mentioned earlier this could also provide an area for the community area. Higher Fraddon is being destroyed by large lorries, dust and construction. The bioplant traffic should have come off the A30, not through the small hamlet of Higher Fraddon. Many residents have been affected by this and this will now continue for many years. Access straight off the A30 for bioplant traffic would have avoided this. Installing a gas pipe at the same time has added greatly to the problems. I am VERY concerned about the threat of mining at Treliver Farm, near Ruthvoes. I do not agree with unauthorised building and development at Little Arbor Meadow and Iron Mine Lane, Toldish. Make more bridleways and cycle tracks. We are concerned that Cornwall Council allowed damage to Council prop erty opposite Little Meadows Arbour and effectively allowed the introduction of illegal caravans. I often think that people don't realise how important the environment and the peace and quiet is to the people who live here. Because it is close to the A30, and it's not a parish like Feock from example, they somehow think its ok. I do have some concerns about the FLI construction in Higher Fraddon and the effect this will have on local residents due to the increased traffic - being large vehicles - and the worry about the possible noise and smells one the plant is up and running. I don’t yet know enough about the parish but by the time you have the next survey I will make it my business to find out. I feel privileged to be part of such a vibrant community in which our children have been part of. I would like to see that the provision is prserved for future generations. I would also like to ensure that those currently living in the parish have the services and opportunities to meet their needs. Other suggestions would be: memory clinics, emotional health and well being support, befriending services.

205

11. Other comments I feel this questionnaire covered a vast number of different subject areas. It would be an idea to add at end of section listing, where in order, people can list their top concerns eg 1) too many houses, 2) better surgery need, 3) etc, etc. Also the map on front page is useful however some places discussed on this farm I did not know where they were so it was difficult to comment. So maybe a more detailed map linking up the locations in the questions. I have spent over an hour filling in the form but am very doubtful whether any of my comments will be heeded or acted upom. Is this consultation exercise just that - a means to say "we can tick that box, we have consulted" when really there is little money to spend on improvements? The dreadful industrial development at Indian Queens proves that the feelings of local residents are ignore when money is the issue. I like the parish as it is and should stay as it is, not spoiling the landscape, not to be suffocated by development. I suppose I have two main concerns at this time - the Biofarm, at Higher Fraddon, it has been under construction for the past 6 months. Any myself and neighbours have some concerns. Th e second would be the path through the park near the pit, it desperately needs one. It's a mudfest in the winter. And when we had the bad weather last year, some of the park washed away. It's now a mess of rubble; it needs a proper path from top to bottom right through it, not a half job. Someone turned up laid a bit of concrete at the top and made no difference except made the path at the top wider - no help. I think halting building houses has to be the main thing at the moment. We need a Post Office in Indian Queens/St Columb Road area OR keeping Fraddon Post Office. Where it is now. Perhaps a static library van in club grounds? I think it is very sad that the community of Higher Fraddon especially is so affected by the biogas / pig farm lorries. Houses, cars, washing are now filthy, the roads are a mess and there are 3 properties now gone up for sale in the 2 weeks because of it. Disgusting we have to resort to selling our homes to get away from what will be a continuous bombardment of lorries every day. The area could be amazing with its links to the A30, the countryside nearby. We need more wild flowers planted and more trees. Lots ofother places have looked after greens, hanging baskets etc. Fraddon and Higher Fraddon and Indian Queens are very lacking in this and look very shoddy. I would like more pro-active policing in the area, especially with regards to speeding and the drugs problems. Selling at the far end of Mylords Road and the bus stops an alleyway opposite Wesbourne Terrace. I would like to see dedicated landing sites for the air ambulance at various locations in the parish. I would like to see more flower pots on pavements to stop people parking on them or pasts. As I live on my own people take advantage at this very moment 5pm 10.9.14 there are three cars parked on the pavement right outside my front cannot even get out of my gate, which also stops people calling into see me, as they think these people are in my house. Means I have to go around the back and walk past my neighbours just to get out, and it’s a very big (fire risk) for me getting out. I would like to see more young people moving to/or finding it easier to stay in this area. I feel that we would need more affordable accommodation and long term employment in the area. I wish the post office could move to St Columb Road or Indian Queens area - where it would be easily accessed by people without cars. The bus service seems to be going through a bad patch at the moment - I don't know the answer but I hope someone is working on it. I wonder if enough thought is being given to the safety of some of the large china clay tips. If building new houses which would be great to create a huge out of town area its no good building small houses with small gardens, why do you think children are always on the streets with shoe box gardens and people with children grow up and learn to drive so more parking space needs to be available. I am against lots of small houses crammed together look at other properties nice huge gardens and parking on most. Where are all these people going to work? Shop? School? etc. Its not just houses it’s the whole living picture. Recreation, community centre for elderly.

206

11. Other comments If Parish Council space is created, it would be good to have some multi-use rooms eg meeting room which could also be used to teach computer literacy; space for teaching healthy eating, etc. In 2008 the traffic speed and parking was listed as important, but since then nothing has been done, so what will change after this questionnaire? Indian Queens is a lovely place to live. Please don't overcrowd it. Indian Queens School Field should be open to children to play on. It would have been good to be able to complete on online version to save paper and costs. Keep St Enoder Parish Rural. People move here to be awayfrom the 'City Life', most of if not all household have transport, so why spoil the village feel be developing the area. Regeneration should go to Newquay or St Austell. Higher Fraddon; the biogas plant, has been built, with no thought, about the increase of large transport bringing the consumables to the power plant, I agree with the renewable energy idea, what about entrance and exit for the plant off the A30, there is enough room to accommodate this. Entrance to plant at top of hill, after Pednacarne footbridge. Exit onto A30, sliproad, for Newquay Wadebridge etc, keeping Higher Fraddon area, our safe place to live. Keep up the good work! Litter is a major problem along Fraddon Hill/Chapel Road from the Post Office and Esso Garage. Apparently there is a litter picking service (footnote on page 24 of questionnaire) which occurs. We have lived here nearly 3 years (in Cornwall for 11) and have never seen any evidence of this. More bins need to be provided. Rubbish blows into our garden at an alarming rate (we litter pick daily). For such a beautiful area that prides itself on working for the community a little bit of attention to the litter problem would be beneficial. Bringing Fraddon/Indian Queens upto date with gas mains would be benefiicial too. Gas bottles are so expensive and mains gas much cheaper. Why should all the new houses have gas/water/electricity mains and older houses suffer? Chapel Road and Fraddon Hill. We would pay to be connected to mains, if the price was 'affordable' as you keep referring to!!! Lots of people walk their dogs in and around the village. It would be so much nicer if there were some bins placed around for dispersal of dog mess. In paticular Highgate Hill - Higher Fraddon. More policing in the evenings. A suggestion/worry box situated in village halls to be used for people who have concerns. These can be collected and addressed at Council Meetings. This would help people who are unable to attend themselves due to mobility problems etc. An area or field set aside especially for exercising dogs - this would cut down on dog mess on pavements. Also people using playing fields to exercise dogs. More poo bins required. Somewhere for people to take their dogs within walking distance in Fraddon. More sports facilities needed. More play areas needed. Less wind turbines! Or at least no further wind turbines. No evidence of the part-time worker (who keeps areas of the parish clean and tidy) in Summercourt or Mitchell. No idea but considering the area is enlarging, there are very poor facilities for food shopping and restaurants and because of this we pay more (especially petrol). None. Have not lived here long enough to be able to have effective comment. One question. How can someone put in a site for six travellers in the lane behind Queens School? Near Toldish Cottages with no planning and no concern for local residents? 1) Bin required on the road to Trevarron fronm St Columb Road. 2) Traffic calming measures requried for St Columb Road. Speed of traffic will end in a tragedy. Lot of children lives on this road. Outlying areas aren’t on superfast broadband - which was deemed a national priority. Questionnaire too long! We only found time to complete it as we had a three hour drive at the weekend (response will be biased to people with time on their hands). Would be useful to have another option in responses - neither agree no disagree eg have some reservations. Very interesting reading, we've learnt a lot about our parish eg how many historic sites there are, completely didn’t know this. 207

11. Other comments Parka Road. This road goes from 1 Parka Road, Fraddon Post Office to Trevarron. We all suffer. People not finding us. There is also a Parka Road on the Council Estate. The Post Office always gets the two areas mixed up and people ring up when looking for Parka Road, Fraddon when they are lost in Indian Queens Council Estate off St Francis Road. Why can Parka Road off the Council Estate be changed to Parka Avenue. It would save a lot of problems and money because of lost post. Parking. Due to the age and style of some properties there is no provision for off street parking. Therefore the parish council should consider within certain areas the use of 'resident parking only' ie along St Columb Road/Indian Queens/St Francis Road. Also road markings covering the areas of people’s garages/ driveways to discourage parking (ie (see picture at bottom of section) across driveway entrance). Also it may like to consider a part-time flexibile working, parking enforcement officer to travel around the parish enforcing the traffic regulations, this position could be shared with neighbouring parishes to lower costs. Parts of this questionnaire have provoked thought and discussion within the household. It must be re membered that some of the questions although they seem black and white can have an extensive range of answers. Protected and listed properties for example. Cases in point St Enoder Rectory extention and Glebe Barn garage extention to dwelling. Tasteful and enhansing to the property and area. Therefore it should be noted that development can enchance as well as degrade an area. Also sustainable energy will hopefully become more efficient in time, but the technology needs to be tested and used before it can be embraced into our lives. This has been encouraged by government to provide opportunity for investment and on the whole money being put back into the community, whether seen or unseen by the community as a whole. We believe that it is a shame that our parish doesn’t pull together as much as has in the past. But feel that out of the great assets of access and location mean even though more people live here it doesn’t correspond we live our lives here. PLEASE can someone do a site visit so they can understand the urgency about the speed of the A30? Please deal with the traffic quantity and speed before you think of developing the surrounding area any further. And don't forget to cut back the hedgerows opposite. It will make people want to walk and cycle. Please preserve our way of life, do not over develop this area and ensure that any future hosuing is affordable and is for local Cornish people, the children of our area. Enable our children to be able to find local work so that they can afford to stay in Cornwall. Work and affordable housing go hand in hand with each other one without the other breaks local communities and this leads to our children leaving the local area / county in search of work and affordable housing. One of our sons has already left the county because of the above, please help my younger two (and other young people) stay locally, living and wokring in an area they love. Please stop building so many houses. If it has tobe then the houses should be in keeping with the houses around it. For example the 'Ocean' hosuing estate of Fraddon is atrocious (disgraceful) why were the ploanners allowed to put the biggest houses on the bottom of the site looking over parka hill? Totally blocking out a beautfiul view which could have been avoided very easily alsothe houses built on the main road leading into the estate, they are not in keeping with the surrounding properties, take a look at Heather Meadows estate. Nice properties, set out in a good variety not justt built where ever they felt like unlike Ocean. Protect our landscape and heritage for future generations. There are plenty of houses in local papers for sale why build more just for property developers profit. We will end up living in a town this is not what St Enoder Parish should become. Please keep it rural. Queen and Railway Inn could do with a tidy up, not convinced it’s a pub more like a scabby house with weirdos outside. Save our post office. Build a butchers. Better access for the expanding school (inc. parking). Parks to be updated.

208

11. Other comments School Road needs chicanes with perhaps flowers to slow traffic leaving the by-pass and approaching the School. Hedges and grass verges could be tidier, and weeds on kerb-sides need clearing away. Once hedges have been cut, the debris needs removing otherwise grass and plants will grow through it and it looks a mess. The entrance to the village from the by-pass needs to be smarter it’s all very well leaving cuttings on the grass when it is cut, but it looks scruffy and uncared for. Area needs many more dog bins! St Enoder Parish has a lot of good facilities - good shops, retail facilities, food outlets. We also have a lot of industry providing employment. My only concern is too much growth in the village. Stop industrialising this parish. Just because we live near the main cable run we deserve our amenity as much as those in rich areas of second homes. Work for the people who work here please. Incinerators wine, solar, biomass, new overheard cables, new gas pipes we can't use - what next?? Summercourt Fair goes back to at least the 12th century and probably beyond. In the last 35 years it has gone from being a major event in the calendar to not very much at all. This Fair should be somehow brought back to its former glory not just for ou r generation but for the next and the next. With this in mind I believe the Parish Council should do as much as is possible to enhance the Fair, and not just sit back and eventually let it disappear for ever. I believe it is their duty as a Parish Council to start the ball rolling. Summercourt is in dire need of traffic calming measures and in the five years of living here I have never seen a police person walking the streets or knocking doors to see if everyone has any concerns! Thank you for asking! Thank you for your hard work! The abandoned building site at St Columb Road is a danger and an eye sore. It has remained unchanged for 14 years since I moved into my home. Something definitely needs to be done about it. Parking at the Doctors Surgery is also becoming a problem, especially if village is expanding. The answers I did were mostly for Indian Queens. Have lived here over 20 years and the changes even to our once quiet and safe for walk no longer is. Thank you. The aspects of landscape are what make Cornwall, Cornwall! The Fair only comes here once a year. The cemetary at Indian Queens has deteriorated laterly and have heard a lot of complaints to from local people. The cemetery is a mess. Its upkeep is not as good as it used to be!! at Indian Queens. The pace of development should be in line with protecting our wonderful four villages in the heart of Cornwall. Any suggestion of excessive development should be opposed. The Parish is an untaped jam with a little TLC it could be a viable tourist stop and not just somewhere to drive through. Kinglsey is a start and the destination for some holiday makers whilst benefitting the local people. The villages of Fraddon, Summercourt, Indian Queens are potentially area which could be very desirable. The pub in Summercourt with a lick of paint and some flowers has become a real pleasant place. With this as an incentive these villages could scrub up well and lose the somewhat grey feel they currently have. This all comes with pride in 'your' village and I think starting by investing is using derelict areas may bump start that feeling. The question in Section 6 implies that only wind and solar power are available. All new housing should be constructed with ground source heating. Utilisation of rainfall for "grey" purposes. Porous pavement should be used to allow water to return to the sub-surface rather than run off into the drainage system. Water courses should be utilised for small scale generation of electricity. The school urgently needs a parking area. A pathway from Fraddon Hill to the school. Traffic, parking, speeding, noisy motorbikes cars needs urgent attention. The setting out and mapping of sites in the area should be a priority. Many people new to the area find it hard to even locate the Indian Queens Pit. More advertising leaflets are needed. The smell from the Fish Factory at the estate opposite the old school should be sorted out. Also the pig farm at the back of Hanover Parc is very bad small at most days.

209

11. Other comments The standard of upkeep at the cemetary in Indian Queens is not as high as it used to be. The state of the allotments at St Columb Road are disgusting, apparently they have all been taken up for this year and yet there are about 7-8 that have been left to grow wild with docks and ragwort. This makes it very hard for the ones that try to keep theres weed free. Can the parish council please make it a policy for "allotmenteers" to work the ground and keep in a reasonable state, and if they fail to do this then their entitlement to the allotment should be taken away. My brother wanted an allotment for this summer and was told there wasn't any available - laughable when you see the state of it down there. There are a vast number of dog owners in the parish but there really isn't anywhere where dog owners can safely exercise their dogs - meet other dog owners and have the facilities to safely clean up after them (a bin!). It would only require a field with a bin at the entrance just somewhere that dog owners can let their dogs have an off the lead run without having to drive them somewhere to do so. There are two major issues that concern us - the high amount of litter and dog fouling. We have noticed the increase of litter over the last couple of years. But where are all the litter bins? Very few and far between. More bins are needed and far more notices reminded people to take their rubbish home with them. We are also concerned about the increase in dog poo everywhere. We have dogs ourselves but would never dream of not picking up our own dogs mess. However, more bins are required as there are very few at present. Again far more notices are required telling people to pick up their own dogs mess. Goss Moor is a good example - although a couple of bins have been put up there where's all the notices? People are lazy and need reminding - notices please! There have been incidents of youths skateboarding down the road leading from Pedna Carne to the main road at the bottom. This is highly dangerous and has been reproted on several occasions to the community police who surprisingly has told us it is not illegal. After a 'quiet word' from the community police the youths have gone away but return a few weeks later. It may take a serious accident before anything positive is done about this but driving up the hill when these youths are hurtling down is not for the faint hearted. Are they are by-laws or restrictions which can be put into place to stop these youths? Maybe a notice or warning sign?? There is a growing proliferation of 'convenien ce' parking i.e. people who have adequate parking on site but prefer one more convenient to their point of entry to their property or own a vehicles (or works van) too large for their entry or parking space. These are being parked on roads, half on the pavement which effectively narrows both the road and the pavement inhibiting the safe passage of two way traffic and safe use for pram pushers and various wheelchair users. Noteably the area of new terracing between Vincent's Yard to opposite the Kingsley development. These houses were originally planned with in front parking which the authority insisted had to be in back so that new housing could have 'in line' frontages with existing housing further into Fraddon. A poor planning decision on which the parish was ignored. Ther are other such areas. This particular one is the most obvious. Double yellow lines might help and enforcement of same might do more as would a sign prohibiting parking. A police????presence? Letters to offenders? There is no where within walking distance in Fraddon to take dogs to and let them run. Perhaps a field that is not being used could be offered. I know a lot of people who don't/can't drive that have dogs. More help please - more poo bins would be good. Thriving pantomimes. Brass bands. Community choir. Keep fit and dance classes. Regular meeting groups et etc. The community continues to thrive and I would welcome any developments that improve employment prospects. Too many cyclists use the pavements instead of the roads. I can understand young children doing this, but NOT teenagers and adults, who need to be reminded that this is illegal. Putting up signs regarding this could help. More needs to be done by the police to monitor and curb excessive noise from illegal exhausts on cars and motorbikes.

11. Other comments Trees in the area (including in peoples houses gardens) should be maintained so that other people can see countryside views and be cut to a height of 12 feet and below. Natural sun light is obstructing people’s day to day living. Vegetation and shrubs overhanging footpaths. Bus stop road markings at the boundaries of Fraddon and Indian Queens (south of Esso garage) would help the bus get near to pick up and drop off. Very good questionnaire - well thought through. Thanks. Very good. Have lived in this area for 14 years and I have experienced only fairly good outcomes including schools, buses and the community. Very upset and disappointed that both cemertaries are not kept up to standard (overflowing bins, grass not picked up, gradd all over graves) and no water availoable (Indian Queens) with the new contractor. Was very very happy with Alan the previous contractor. Road sweeper not been around siince last year. We all understand that there has to be progressive growth. However we reside in this area because we enjoy village life. Newquay is expanding at a fantastic rate. Lets not become a town, and alllow the growth to take part down the road. Rural life has many advantages over urban. If more houses are built! I fear that it will be for people from with outside this area, and not for our locals. We are amazed that planning was granted for the Bio Gas plant without adequate consideration to alternate access for heavy vehicles, the existing road network through Higher Fraddon simply cannot cope with the proposed traffic movement. It is not safe for children or pets and the noise/vibration can only reguarded as intrusive nuisance. We enjoy life in St Enoder Parish. Please do not allow it to be spoiled for future generations just in the name of progress. PLEASE PROTECT OUR GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND. We have lived in Summercourt for 12 years and it is great most of the time. It would be good to have a dog bin for the good people who do pick up their dog mess and for the part ot have a time limit so we are not kept up late at night with skate boards and footballs banging. When the boarders of the paths are not kept tidy the dogs mess and you can't see what you are treading in when the kids come out of school in winter. And please ask fairground lorries not to park in our road the kids can not see to cross over the road. Thank you. We have nice new bus shelter but what about litter bins for them? Everyone seems to eat and drink while waiting for a bus then discards the wrappings before they board. The shelters are becoming litter bins themselves with blobs of chewing gum all over the floors. Can't anyone do anthing about the eyesore tip that is Kinsleys site at St Columb Road? We have only lived in Indian Queens for a few months but have tried to help with this survey. We love our idyllic little village. We need to be kept informed of any building or changes in. Fraddon and Higher Fraddon rumours are no the sort of thing that gives peace of mind. Small pig farm Higher Fraddon. What is going on there? We need to know? TR9 6NH. We really enjoy living here. We think it is absolutely disgusting that someone can buy a property within the parish and turn a greenfield site into a potential caravan/gypsy site without planning permission, and be able to carry on developing it despite 2 enforcement notices being issued. He has also erected a solid set fence around it so noone can see what he is doing. On top of this, he has no intention of living there or even in the parish. We would like to see more done about dog mess, could we please have more signs and bins, we still see people letting their dogs use the pavement outside our house! We think a sports hall/swimming pool for the young and old would be good for the local people to use. What about the idea of outside exercise equipment in green spaces for adults? Yeah!

11. Other comments When we moved from Essex to Cornwall to live, it was to get out of the rat race and to have a relaxed lifestyle, up the top of a quiet lane away from traffic. This has only lasted 3 years. It is such a shame this quiet hamlet is being over built on and infrastructure unable to contain/manage amount of traffic. Drains/sewers cannot manage amount which passes through leading to blockages. Speed of traffic up this, once, quiet lane is dangerous. There needs to be more thought within the Parish and the people who sit on these panels before decisions are made/or put forward/prevented. While I think it important to conserve old buildings I also think we should be considering sympathetic renovation and development into much needed housing and actually make good use of our heritage that would otherwise stay as ruins and unsightly buildings in the parish. Would be nice if there was somewhere to walk the dog OFF the lead, without needing to have a car ride first. Also a provision for foot traffic to get from Tremear Green for example to the doctors is a fair walk even though as the crow flies it’s a few hundred yards away. If there was a small lane between Tremear and the doctors’ estate it would take minutes. Would like measures taken to stop fair ground lorries using School Road as a carpark throughout the year. They make exit and access to properties along the road difficult and dangerous. Your questionniare is too ambiguous and open to be interpreted in whichever way suits.
